Welcome to Graham Edward Max!


Our handsome little man was born at 2:12 pm this afternoon. HOORAY!!!!! Joy is bouncing off the walls at the Parish home tonight. With a thick head of black hair, Graham weighs 8 pounds 4 ounces and is 21 inches long.

Jenny started her labor while shopping with Jayni at Walmart yesterday afternoon. :-) 12:30 am found Max and Jenny at the hospital. McCrackens arrived at 6:30 am, Mom and Dad got there around 8:00, Simon, Jeremy, the Littles and I walked in the waiting room around 11:30, with Daniel and Kendra driving in around 4:30 pm. It was a joyful family time as we all rejoiced in the blessing God gave us today. Jenny is doing well, and they both are radiating with happiness.

I hope they are blessed with a restful night tonight. McCrackens, Dan and Ken, and all the rest of us headed back home to a HUGE pot of soup, hot drinks, and loads of smiles. :-)

Praise the Lord! We love babies around here!

(Once again, the pictures are out of order. I'm sorry! I can't resist posting any longer, and can't bear to spend the time organizing. :-P)

Cuddling with Daddy.

The Grandma's go in to see him first.

Hi Graham!

Waiting and waiting . . .
Two mommies, two babies! Just one week apart.

We were able to see Jenny as she was wheeled to a recovery room. Hooray!

His aunties adore him.

Precious boy!

"Yeah!"

Love

P.S. It was so foggy that it took us an hour and 40 min. to get home!!( Part of that was because I took a detour because I was watching the road so closely and not the road SIGNS. :-) Give my love in great bunches to them as they arrive tomorrow or whenever they end up coming. :-)
