‘She’s here!!!! Ashtyn Lilly Lutz | 2•22•21,’ the proud new mama, 32, began when she announced their baby news. 

‘The day she came into the world it was snowing, raining, and freezing, but that night she was born and we woke up to sun, clear skies, and winter melting away. It was so symbolic considering this time last year was literally winter for our souls only to be met one year later with the brightest sunshine,’ she added, in a reference to the couple’s heartbreak over losing a baby six months into a pregnancy last February.

‘She ushered in a new season for us and we love her beyond comprehension.’

The actress concluded: ‘God redeems. He restores. He never leaves us broken-hearted, we just have to give Him the broken pieces and what He turns it into? Wow.’
