    Oh, and Brandon has a name suggestion if you're still debating: Seabass (short for sebastian, I guess?). Don't worry, if we happen to have another boy someday, you WON'T be stealing our name if you use it!

  41. I've been dying to see the first photos...my computer was acting up, and I was getting very upset! I'm so glad I didn't have to throw it out a window! Sure was fun getting the scoop from Ben over the phone -- love his insight! So grateful all went well, and can't wait to squeeze everybody at Christmas time! Love, Grandmother (and Grandfather, of course!)

  49. That's it. He's way too cute! I can't stand it! We're coming to Vegas like right now and I'm going to have to fight Ben for a turn to hold him. I don't know if I've ever seen Zack's smile that big before. And the baby's lucky if he gets to look like Luke!
