Serin Hosanna Monley
Dear Friends,
Serendipitous fortune has smiled on the Monleys once again! We are basking in the serenity of God’s love, rejoicing in the birth of our baby daughter, Serín Hosanna Monley.
Serín describes perfectly the tranquil little girl resting now in Katie’s arms, her midnight eyes, deep blue like serene water. It is the name of one of the most remarkable students I ever taught, the name of a songbird- serinus serinus, a name we’ve always loved.
Hosanna was the call of the palm-wavers welcoming the Lord into Jerusalem:
Hosanna, blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord
Hosanna is a cry of praise to God, a cry we echo now as we sing praises for this beautiful little baby girl blessing our family. Hosanna for a safe birth, Hosanna for 9 pounds and 22 inches of righteous thunder!
So once again the bells are ringing in our home. The horns are sounding and the fattened calf is glancing around nervously. We have a brand new Monley, a brand new Summy, another branch on the woven grove of our family trees. We thank God for Serín Hosanna, and we hope all of you get to meet her soon.
With Much Love,
With Much Love,
Nate, Katie, Finn, Selah, and Serín Monley

YES! We have been DYING for photos of Anderson's future wife. I can't imagine why you guys would be busy. She is just beautiful. We can't wait to meet her. Lots of love from Oregon,
Beth, Court and Anderson
Nice Work you guys! Can't wait to meet the little gal. Thanks for the pictures. We certainly cherish them out here.

Little Serin, You look just as precious as your little cousin Muira. This week I have the privilege to hold her close and rock and sing to her, but next week I'll be back in Northern California to do the same to you. Much love to you all. Finn and Selah, I miss you. Love, Granny Peg
Congratulations Monley Family! We are so happy for you all. A precious little girl. Can't wait to meet her!
