*Our Little Snugglebug*







It has been far too long since our last post, but as you can tell, we've been a little...busy :) Just a few weeks ago, we were blessed with a little boy- Lucas Alexander- who was brought to us by an extraordinary young lady. Those few weeks flew by, each day filled with eager anticipation for his arrival, and we are happy to announce that he is finally here! Our hearts couldn't be more full of joy, love, and gratitude not only for our new little guy, but for his entire birth family who we love so dearly. ~Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!~

Lucas is now going on 3 weeks old and we can't believe how much he's changed! He's weighing in at a healthy 9lbs 2oz, 21 inches long, and as alive and active as can be. We can already tell by his incredibly "straightforward" personality -wink, wink- that he'll have no problem going for the things he wants in his life. He has the sweetest smile, the most sincere blue eyes, and a head of hair that even I'm jealous of. He's snorting, and kicking, and loves, loves, LOVES to snuggle. My mom gave him a nickname- she calls him her "snugglebug". He knows the moment you lay him down, at which point he'll open his eyes wide open, grunt a few times, and wait for you to scoop him back into your arms until he's completely asleep. And we LOVE it!
