Off to Utah to Welcome Baby Jimmie!!

It is always such a miracle to welcome a new little spirit to this world.  This guy just couldn't wait to get here so he decided to come a week early.  Thankfully he let his Mommy finish her student teaching assignment before he came.....albeit by less than 24 hours.  :)  Such timing.  But everything went well and he and Mommy are doing just fine.  The timeline leading up to his birth is quite a story in and of itself.  I will refer you to Emily's blog for that tale.  (http://jimmieandemily.blogspot.com/)  She tells it much better since she was there and everything.  I just wanted to post some photos of this tiny, beautiful boy.  He is a treasure!!!

This photo was taken not long after his birth.  He looks like he is carefully considering something.

I love this one of him peeking out of one eye like he is not sure what he has gotten himself into

A long night for Daddy....but very worth it

These next three pictures are from a little photo shoot that Emily did while we were at church on Sunday.  What a handsome little guy!!

Just looking around (check out the long fingers)

"Hey, that's my Mommy!!"

"Hi, Aunt Megan.  Thanks for coming down to see me!!"

Just look at that sweet face!!

Another sweet look

Jimmie got to meet his Great Grandma and Grandpa Tucker, too.  They came down for the weekend and   Bruce and Jennifer had us all over at their house for a barbecue.  It was so much fun.

Uncle Geoffrey came, too

Aunt Megan got to try pumping gas on the way home.....first time!!

I met up with a good friend of mine from high school at the BYU library.  Turns out she works with one of Megan's good friends from New Jersey.  Small world!!

Such a fun trip and such a sweet, new little addition to our family.  

Welcome Baby Jimmie!!
