Wow...what a weekend!!

By the grace of God, this beautiful baby boy became mine and Bryan's nephew. Yes, we became an aunt and uncle for the first time on Saturday. Brooks is very proud to also have his very first cousin, and can already say his name.

Is there anything sweeter than a newborn baby sleeping peacefully?

The proud parents, Linsey(Bryan's sister) and Davy..they are surviving on 1hr 45min of sleep.

Brand new dad

Proud aunt and uncle..we even color coordinated for the picture!! Didn't realize we matched until I uploaded the pics.

Oh my goodness, is he not the cutest? I could just eat him up..I held him in the hospital for over an hour and didn't want to put him down.

OK...now let me tell you the amazing story of this precious little one. Linsey and Davy have struggled with infertility for several years and made the decision last November to start the adoption process. We have prayed that when the time was right this wonderful couple would become parents. Well, on Saturday, Sept. 4th, God decided it was time. Our soon to be nephew was born in the Dallas area at his birth mother's friends apartment before the paramedics could get there. He was then taken with his mother to the hospital where she admitted him to the hospital, signed papers and walked away. I am tearing up just typing those words..can you imagine? The mother is 23, has had several children, and a very hard life. He had no prenatal care, weighed 6lbs 12 oz, 19 in long, and is healthy. Saturday at around 2:30 in the afternoon, L & D get the call that would soon change their life. They get in the car, drive to Dallas, are admitted to the hospital, and at 10:00pm Corbin Riley became their son. Nine months after filling out the paperwork with the adoption agency, they have become parents. To think about the life that this blessed sweet baby has been given is just indescribable.
