the long awaited arrival of karis and thomas' little boy. this one was a doozy. i can't even explain except that karis is the sweetest and most special little sister, so her offspring is a big deal. she did so much of the labor naturally, so we couldn't be with her much...so there was a lot of waiting. like 36 hours of waiting. mom and i stayed at the hospital all night, hoping he would come...but he held off to the next morning, and even carleigh made it back in time. but he was SO worth it.
declan clyde spooner has already captured the hearts of everyone in our family.
this was the first picture we took from the waiting room, when we knew for sure he had been born. (marilyn and i were snooping outside the room, and we heard him crying)
these are the times that i don't like living 3 hours away from my family. my heart ached and ached when i had to leave...and i couldn't stay gone very long. i came back and got to spend 2 more days with this precious new family to help them and get in my snuggles with declan. such a special time, and i'm so thankful to have been able to be there. ah! just looking at these pictures makes me want to go back!!!
