Ramblings from a proud daddy!

So the first day is pretty much down and Courtney and Jude are doing wonderful. Not to mention the fact that Olivia is in heaven spending time with her little brother. I wanted to freeze time when I heard her say, as she was holding Jude tonight, "Its okay Jude, your big sister is here now. I will take care of you." Its moments like those that make a dad so proud and help me remember what life is really about. Even as I sit here and look at Courtney feeding Jude I realize how quickly we can get things out of order. I am the first to get so busy that I forget to spend time with the people that really matter. I want to say thank you for everyone's prayers. Thanks to the Edwards, Lia, and Lloyed's for popping by today, as well as to Courtney's family for being so amazing with us. Judy you really are amazing. So as you look at these pictures, my prayer for you is that you will make the important things big and show the ones you love just how much you love them by spending the time God has given you. I know it is late and I sound really cheesy but I feel as if the Lord has really laid this on my heart. Here are some more pics to look at. Oh, and by the way, Poppa Don and Nana we can't wait to see you!!!




Justin and Jenny! You guys look ready for one of your own!!

"I love my little brother!!!!"
