Gotcha Day...So Far So Good!









Our little guy is here! What a fun morning for us. He was slightly withdrawn at first, but he is warming up great. Lots of big smiles and flirting and playing. Taking his first nap now. Hopefully it will continue to be this smooth. Fingers crossed. Jake has already taken 260 photos today, so I will post a few.

  5. Great pictures! Everyone looks so very happy and filled with joy. Will's smile looks like he has some dimples which makes me want to give him a big hug. I love you and know that God is with you on every step of this journey. Love, Dad

  6. I can see the joy lit up in your faces! Nothing could make me happier! It brings tears to my eyes...

    I want to squeeze the cheeks of that sweet little guy. Is that why they are so rosy? Because you have been squeezing them? Welcome to the family, Will! WE LOVE YOU! Your Aunt Kelly cannot wait to hug you a million times!

  11. He is just precious precious precious! Mer, you have never looked as radiant as you do in that pic of you holding your new little one! Jake looks like a proud papa and little Will looks like he's home. I'm so very proud of y'all and continue to pray that God will continue to hold you close and guide your steps along the way. So, what's on the agenda for tomorrow? Please send me the video of y'all playing and anything else to my phone or email! I can't get enough, even though Jack and Ellie are keeping me quite busy in the "I'll do anything for you" area. I just still cannot comprehend the amount of love God gives us for others. After J and E I thought I couldn't love anyone else like I love them, but here came Will and he has my heart too!
