The Boys Hanging Out

PGA Golfer -or- NFL linebacker in training ... I'm sooooo happy this day has come and that God saw fit to carry Amber & Sutton safely through the delivery and surgical process.

Bright Eyed From The Get-Go

Sutton came out wide-eyed and looking at everything!

Momma & Sutton

This was taken the day after Sutton was born in the recovery room. Amber was doing great after 30+ hours of labor and a c-section! She was up & walking within 24hrs!

Time to rest

This was taken about 3 hours after he was born.

Nurse Nancy

This is nurse Nancy Hildebrandt at Hendrick who along with the other nurses during out stay were excellent in helping us through the birth of our first child. I'm sure we must have asked the nurses thousands of questions before we left ... they were great to us.

Nurse Donna

This is nurse Donna Hanson who along with her husband John attends church with us. She has the bragging rights of being the first person to hug Sutton and later on give him his first bath. She was also in the surgery room with us during the c-section and was waiting for the hand-off from Dr's Tadvick and Daniels to check Sutton out. We were so thankful she decided to come in on her day-off to be there for our family during the delivery. We are so blessed... thank you Donna!

My First Picture

Here is Sutton in he nursery about 2 hours after he came into the world. He was calm, cool, and collected for all the big happenings of the day.

New Adiion To The Family

Our "existing kids" have no idea what will be coming home with us in a few weeks.

Sutton's Room is ready

With a lot of hard work by all, Sutton's room was finished just in time with special help from Big Mac & Mimi. Mimi hand-made all of the baby bedding and window treatment you see and Big Mac drove home a stuffed delivery truck from Dallas one Saturday with all the furniture. Also helping us complete the room was: Uncle Cameron & Aunt Tonya, Tom & Betsey Craig, Jennifer Ellison. As you can see, it turned out quite colorful as we chose the theme "A Circus Safari" ... this picture was taken about 2 weeks before Sutton was born.

Waiting For The Big Day

This was taken at the Jacob's Dream sculpture on the Campus of Abilene Christian University about 3 weeks prior to Sutton's birthdate.
