We have a son!


Life has been interesting these last 2 weeks. On November 23rd at 10:50 a.m., we welcomed Nolan Richard into the world. The first thought and words the minute I saw him on the screen as they cleaned him up: "OMG - He looks just like Kiersten!" You spend months speculating which parent he'll look like, and it turns out you've made a clone of your first child. Truly amazing. We love him to pieces. He's such a great baby and we can't wait to see how his personality is going to play out.
Kiersten has been such a great big sister to Nolan. She's always trying to find ways to help us out, which is great, since I'm a stay-at-home mom. She's constantly fawning over him and runs into the room whenever she hears him cry.
We're looking forward to Christmas. It's going to be a tight one, but Kiersten is finally really into it, and knows what she's going to ask of Santa whenever we visit him. She's ready to help decorate for Christmas. It's so wonderful to look into her eyes and get excited right along with her.
