BABY!!!

Henry John Holmes entered the world at 5:16 pm Central Time, weighing 8 pounds, 8 ounces and measuring 21 inches long. Everything went great. Steph was a real trooper. She said to her parents on the phone, "It's definitely not something you can be prepared for." It was emotional for me as well. A few tears were shed. I have never witnessed such a miracle. I am still in awe, almost in disbelief as our son currently sleeps on my chest.

Getting some more color.

Proud parents.

Quality father-son time.

Loving kisses from Mom.

Welcome to our family, Henry. We already love you more than words can say.

What a beautiful baby boy! So happy for you two and this new blessed adventure that you are starting together. It will be hard at times learning to care for a new baby, at least it was challenging for me...but it is such a blessing to have your best friend at your side...to learn together. Hope you enjoy these new memories together! Congrats congrats congrats!
