one very special bébé...

how many posts can i start with a thank you before it begins to sound ungenuine? i hope it's a very large number because i need to thank you, yet again, for your sweet encouragement and care and understanding. i so needed to read and receive all of your kind words. they lifted my spirits, truly. merci beaucoup, mes amis. and yes, i'm totally writing in french whenever possible now to be facetious. ;)


remember this lovely shower for this lovely lady?

this weekend, tina went into labor (a week and a half early!) and baby grant has now officially made his grand entrance!

we are so thrilled for tom and tina and so blessed to see them finally become parents. it has been a long and hard road for tom and tina and for us and we are grateful for God's faithfulness in bringing our families to this point.

without further ado, i'd like for you all to meet choi boy's BFF (do boys have BFFs? these two will.):

look how tiny he is!!

proud papa:


and already amazing momma:

(tina, don't kill me for posting this.)

tina and tom's first baby, scout, stayed with us while her family was at the hospital. i brought home one of baby grant's blankets so scout could get accustomed to her new brother's smell.

what do you think she thought of it?

methinks she's trying to be nonchalant and contain her excitment.


or perhaps she thinks grant smells delicious and tasty?

i am SO kidding. she really was very curious and interested in the blanket, i just couldn't whip out the camera in time. ;)

can't wait til choi boy and grant finally meet!
