A Brand New Baby

Welcome to the world, Lucas! He arrived at 4:17 am. (That gives him his own birthday.) He's 20 inches long, weighs 6 pounds 15 ounces, and is beautiful! What a tiny little guy!

Bethany and I took Ben, Hannah, and Josh and went to see him this morning while I had a chance. Children will keep me here the rest of the day. Sara and Alysa will be jealous that we went as this is their new cousin and they are eager to meet him too.

  9. Oh I am so glad you are a faithful blogger! I saw the comment on facebook and immediately made my way here! Congratulations to you and James and Dave and Leta! No wonder the Teal row was a little sparse last night. I am so glad little Lucas is here safely, and I have a new part of my church family (am I allowed to claim him a little bit too?). He's adorable, I love the picture and can't wait to meet him! Our love to Dave and Leta!
