Zack James is here!

It really is a boy! And he really is a JOY. He was born on 2, 2, 2011. This has been an amazing week. Our family has had a great experience having Zack join our family. He is a little peacemaker. He is still and quite and lets everyone hold him. He was born at 7 lbs 8 oz and 20 inches long. He has reddish brown hair and dark eyes. We can't decide who he looks like, but I like to think Jamie. And he is as soft as he looks in this picture. Just born and all went well.

We didn't think the girls were going to be able to come to the hospital to visit because February is RSV season, but when I aksed the nurse she told me to let them come so I quickly called Lee and they all came up. It was a huge treat! And here we are our first family picture as a family of 6! The big girls couldn't get enough holding time, but Ava was too occupied with all the treats and kind of over looked the little guy.
LeeAnn took the girls so Jamie could stay with me and Zack the first night. They love being with her - thanks Lee!I can't say "my girls" so much anymore, but here are my girls and my Zack.



Ava was the only girl who got to come and pick us up from the hospital, and she fell in love with Zack.
We put this adorable little brother outfit on him to take him home in and he would not cooperate for pictures...maybe he's not so excited to be the little brother? With these great big sisters I'm sure he'll change his mind quick though.
This little piggy...


I went into labor early Wed morning so we left the girls alone for a few hours and they made this awsome welcome home sign for us all by themselves!


Grandma Foote came to visit on Sunday and has been spoiling us all week. Its been so nice to have her here to take care of all of us.
My guys!

And this is Zack today. He is 8 days old. He went to the Dr yesterday and was 7lbs 4 oz and 21 1/2 inches long (they might have measured his length a little wrong at the hospital?). He's my little angel. I feel so blessed for this healthy happy bouncing baby boy!
