May 16th

Today is Porter's due date. He is here though and already one week old. One day you are painfully awaiting the arrival, waddling with world's largest belly and the next day you are holding all 8lbs 12oz of him on the outside. He is a treasure. A tiny treasure. We are in love and enjoying every day with him.

The girls wake up early to touch him and hold him and ask questions. Randy and I are learning to balance all of the new responsibilities with all of the old ones. We are getting sleep which is a huge blessing but still look forward to the day we can do it in longer spurts!

Dearest Porter, We love you so much and have only begun to realize how perfectly you complete this family. You are so handsome and bring joy to all of our lives. Your sweet skin and warm snuggles make all of us so very happy!


One Week Picture: (doubtful that he will ever be in pictures alone, poor guy. the girls are always there to jump in!)
