Our Newest Addition

Connor is 2 1/2 wks old in these pictures! As some of you may know Connor had a rough start coming into this world this is his first week home. He spent his first 7 days in the NICU at ST. Marks, we visited him every 3 hours everyday! He really is the sweetest baby ever! He went through so much to be with us and we make sure every day he knows how much he is loved and how grateful we are that he is our son! He is perfect! He is healthy and a happy baby, thank you to everyone for your wonderful prayers!
I think I am out numbered!
Chris was so great to do these pictures, he knows how important pictures are to me especially when our babies are so little, because we all know how fast they grow up and want to be big!
Kaden loves his little brother he always says Connor "I miss you" and is always concerned about where he is or has to make sure Connor gets toys too!
