He is here!

We are so excited to announce the arrival of our son, Nathan David! He was born March 7th, 7 lbs 3 oz, and 19 1/2 inches long. Here are some pictures of us at the hospital and when we arrived home. Our girls think he is so cute, and cannot keep their little hands off of him...which is making me paranoid because they've got colds.

Rachel holding her baby brother. Out of all the girls, Rachel thinks our baby is the greatest in the world.


Katie was scared at the hospital, but she and I took a turn holding him.



Rachel being very excited. David has been doing the girls hair for the last week. He does a pretty good job while I'm gone!

Cute picture of Nathan at home.


Sarah couldn't go to the hospital because she has been pretty sick. Now that we have him home, she thinks he is neat every once in a while to look at...but not to touch. This is as close as we could get them together in a picture. Welcome to our family little guy!

He is SO cute!! We can't wait to see him next week! I can see a little bit of all of the girls in him, but from the pictures, I think he looks most like Katie.
