I am so excited for you guys. Seeing your new baby has brought tears to my eyes. :-) V knows I am a cry baby. I am so happy for you both. This is truly a blessing! P.S. I knew it was a boy. :-)
I love you!

WOW!! What a cutie pie! Why is he looking toward the camera for his first photo op?!
V--woo hoo!! I guess you don't have to worry about scrapbooking to keep you busy for ahwile. We knew daddy wouldn't let us down!! DeVon and I said this morning, while we were getting ready, I wonder if the blog will be updated. :)
We also have a bet on how many pictures have already been taken within the first hour of Alex's arrival. My guess is at least 500.

Congratulations!!! That is wonderful. Please share my congratulations with V, too. My sister had her twins (boys) on Friday (June 22nd), they were
pretty early though--technically due on July 21st, but were to be delivered on July 9th--they usually deliver twins early.
