Hey WOW! Congrats! Great name too...Will he go by "Gabe?"

Angela said...

Gabe is such a perfect baby...we love him SO much already!
I loved talking to Gabe on the phone, but would much prefer a snuggle time soon...I hope it works out for the end of the month!
You've done quite well brother, with the help of your amazing wife of course...OBVIOUSLY couldn't have done it without her! She gets MOST of the credit. (wink)
SSOOOOOO excited with and for you!!!

Angela said...

that smirky little grin looks like he's already brewing up some good pranks in memory of Grandma. :0)

Glad that he's finally here with us. And you went for Gabriel instead of Jebediah? Who'd a thunk it?

Becky said...

WOW! He's absolutely gorgeous! Great name! He'll have an easier time in school with Gabriel than with Jebediah! :) CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Oh my GOODNESS!! YOU HAD YOUR BABY!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! I am so happy for you guys, and Gabriel is ADORABLE!! TRULY A gift from GOD! Sam and I will want to come and see you all, see the baby, and see how you guys are doing, but I know you will be overwhelmed and probably tired for awhile, so maybe next month or so when things die down we can arrange a visit...i'll even change a diaper for ya!!! Praying for you all.
