New Baby at the Arave Home!





Toben J Arave was born Friday August 22nd at 3:35 am. He was only 5 lbs 8 oz 19 inches long. A few hours into labor we realized baby wasn't turned the wrong way so he was born c-section. We're both recovering nicely so far, but we have a long way to go. Chase is LOVING the big brother thing again, and Asher shows some interest, but is too busy learning to walk. We are all busy adjusting, that's for sure. What a special time for our family!
