Family of 5 :-)

Our precious little son arrived this week - 17 days early!!  We are all doing GREAT, just thanking God for answering all our prayers in such a kind way - healthy baby, smooth delivery (hmm, though it was still painful), ;-) and now back to home sweet home.  My in-laws have made this transition smoother than it probably should be by watching the older two kiddos while we were in the hospital (and DeeDee), bringing us groceries and dinner every night since we've been home, etc.  And thank you to so many of you who prayed for us this week!!  We are SO THANKFUL for each and everyone of you!  Keep up the petitions, but please just praise God with us too. :-)

Here's a quick collection of photos of our new little tike, Noah, and his adoring family:

See my scared expression?  My Jesus, my Scotty, my midwife and prayers got me through!

Noah voluntarily slipped his arm around my neck moments after birth - precious.

Daddy's first hold.

Noah has hair - unlike his big bro and sis who were bald babies!

Noah loves to open his eyes, and we love seeing 'em.

Proud big brother Micah.

Skeptical little sister Joy.

Papa Ruth.

Mama Ruth and DeeDee.

First family photo!

DeeDee and Uncle Brad.
