IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY!!!!!!! Steve and I are THRILLED to announce we have been blessed with a beautiful little boy! E was born on Oct 22. He weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and was 20 in long. He had a rough start, but he is healthy and thriving. We are in love. So is M. E's birth mom is such an amazing person who has given us a priceless gift. Thank you to all who have purchased bread, donated to our yard sale, and prayed for us. We are so grateful.

Lots of family and friends stopped by to see our little miracle.

When Steve's cousin and his wife dropped by they told us they were explaining adoption to their children and one of them said, "Stephen and Allyson would rather have babies than money." Out of the mouths of babes.

Family of four.

Trying to nap.

M loves to hold E.

Steve's friend carved E a special pumpkin.

His first bath was traumatic. He cried real tears.

All clean and ready for kisses.
