We welcomed the sweetest most serious-faced little boy on the 18th. He is truly a little wonder, and he is overwhelmingly loved by all of us. It took us until his birth to choose a name, and when Daniel declared he looked like a "Jude Benedict" a few minutes after his arrival, I was glad to agree. He loves to snuggle and stare us down quite seriously as he figured the world out. We have gotten a few sweet smiles, and feel so very grateful to get to have him in our lives.
