Joshua Hawkes

On December 21, at 4:54 PM, our baby boy was delivered safe and sound via cesarean. We have named him Joshua Hawkes after Sarah's great-great-grandfather. It will be neat to someday discover the connection between these two and find out why we felt impressed to give him this special name.





Joshua weighed 6 lbs. 8 oz., was 18 1/2 inches long, and scored a perfect 10 on the cuteness and perfection scale. He has these big, dark, sweet eyes that we can't stop gazing into. We are so thrilled to have him join our family!





The pictures should tell the rest. Forgive me-- they uploaded out of order, so they are not chronological. Enjoy!
