Some pictures don't need words, and I'm sure this is one of them. But I'm going to say a few anyway. Our daughter Kate (Kadence's mom) gave birth to our fourth grandchild this morning. This is Kate and Jaxson when he was less than one hour old. I won't go all feminist on you here, but seriously; does any one among us know a man that could go through that process and look like this within 45 minutes? Simply put; no. Kate--you awed every one of us. I tear up as I type this...it's difficult to grasp the power you possess. My wish for you this Christmas is that you begin to understand all the woman that you are. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. :-)
This afternoon I told Caleb that if he did all his homework without being too crabby we'd go to the hospital to meet his new cousin. The boy sat at the table without even looking up for a solid hour and a half cranking out a LOT of assignments. I couldn't have been more proud! So we went to the hospital around 6, only to be halted by the visitor's police; unless he was a direct sibling he was not allowed in. "Cold and flu season". Kate and I both felt so bad about all that work just to be left alone in the lobby, but they're going home tomorrow so we'll go visit there. Here's what Jaxson looked like tonight.
egads. There is just nothing in the world better than a new baby!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! He is absolutely beautiful! Big hugs and kisses!

He is a cutie. Mom looks like she is doing great. Bless Caleb's heart. It's just hard for kids to understand those hospital rules. Not sure I always understand them. :)
