What a beautiful family! Congrats!

Brandon and Lindsay said...

Congratulations!!! He is adorable, just like all your other boys. I'll bet they're excited for their little brother to be here! Get some rest and enjoy your sweet little guy.
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!

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!)

Cody said...

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!
