Our Simon...

He's here and he's absolutely perfect. Simon Christopher came screaming into the world on Friday, July 11 at 10:01 am. Weighing in at 9lbs, 10oz and 22 1/2 inches long, he's just the right size to take Millie's "love pats" with ease. We're all doing great and feeling better each day. The c-section was without complication (an enormous answer to our prayers), and Simon is as healthy as he can be. Millie LOVES her Baby Simon and nearly hyperventilates with excitement when she gets close to him.

We've had lots of wonderful visitors, and my sister Julie is here staying with us through next week to help us with Dr. Crazy Pants (aka Millie -- she's a little wound up these days). We just can't express how thankful we are for this miracle in our lives. Thank you for your prayers, encouragement and support.

Just a few hours old...

Millie and her new little brother...

Happy to be home...

That first picture of Simon is stunning. He is so precious and looks a lot like Mille! I am so glad Grace and I got to meet him after the long wait. Looking forward to seeing him again before you leave.
