Meeting Declan!

We got a phone call last Saturday night that Laura and Jono were at the hospital awaiting the arrival of their new baby.  We were so excited, so the kids and I made a plan that depending on how everything went with the delivery we would head to Kansas City on Sunday to meet our new cousin/nephew.  The phone call came around seven the next morning that Declan had arrived and that he and Laura were both doing well.  
That was all we needed to hear.  After church we loaded in the car and headed to Kansas City.  I don't think I waited more than a minute to get my hands washed and hold him.  Declan is absolutely precious and we are so blessed to have another healthy baby in our family.  The kids are also getting so good at baby holding.  They loved getting a chance to hold Declan and hated when their turn was over and it was time for someone else to have a chance.  We will head back to Kansas City this weekend and get in some more snuggle time.  We can hardly wait!
