Micah with ol’ St. Nick on Saturday. Pretty darn cute, eh? !(or huh or whatever I should say!;)

Micah’s newest cousin, 7lb 5oz 20″ born at 10:03am on 12/2/2006 Micah is now sandwiched between two female cousins – one 3 months older, one 3 months younger (poor Micah, I foresee tea parties in his future).

Micah is two weeks and one day old today…his life has just begun but already he has turned our little world upside down! For the most part, our lives have changed for the better and we love to just stare at our little son with wonder and amazement at such a perfect creation! His many [...]

Just a quick update, I know everyone has gotten the email’s and phone calls that Micah has arrived. We are back at home now, but unfortunately our internet connection is down, thus our home phone is also down. I am at the library quickly, we will post pictures as soon as our internet is up. [...]
