Its a boy

Here we all are.  The six of us at Christmas all dressed up.  Jeanine is covering up child #4.

Yes we are glutten for punishment.

Proud to announce Jacob Ryan our fourth born.

Jacob arrived at 0920 EST on June 21st.

He weighed in at 8 pounds 1 ounce and is 20.5 inches long.

Daddy got to hold me first.  I was screaming till I was in his arms and heard his voice.

Then I got to go be with Mom and get a kiss.

Then before anything else I got to meet my brothers and sister.

They were the first to know I was a boy, as they should be.

Later on that afternoon my Bothers and Sister came back

They all got a few private minutes with Me.  It was nice.

Here is my sister who they say is a princess.

I hope she will show me how to hunt and fish.

Looking at the hat I think she has a little more Tom Boy in her.

Then we took our first group photo.

My brothers and sister were nice enough to let my Grandma hold me next.

I think she is going to spoil me.

My other Grandma escaped out of work a little early and rushed over to see me.

We are going to have fun together.

Then my Aunt Mindy (bug) took a night off school just for me.

She thinks I am so cute.  We are going to ham it up.  Watch out camera's.

Debora a real good friend could not wait till we got home and dropped by to see me.

She even begged to change the diaper and of course, we did not want to disappoint her.

A lovely mother daughter moment.

Daddy picked up this awesome outfit and dressed me up and I am ready to head for the house.

Another real good friend and the first at the Hospital other than Family was Pam.  Unfortunately she showed up so quick that I was still in the nursery and she had to wait till the following day at home to snuggle with me and play with my little hands and feet.

That first evening at the house Mommy trimmed the nails.

It wasn't long and Daddy was at the computer with sleeping me.
