"Start Every Day as if it were on Purpose"

Lucas Mark Jones is here!


After a early surprise delivery. (3 weeks early) Little Lucas was born on Saturday October 2nd at 10:35 pm. Weighing in at 5 lbs 12 oz and 19 inches long. Labor was very quick. Since he was so early we stayed in the hospital for an extra day monitoring his lungs, heart and sucking abilities. I am so happy to say that we are getting the hang of nursing and all seems to be going well.

Grandma Reynolds comes to the rescue! Upon hearing we were so early she jumped in a car and drove down to help with Garrett at home and stayed to help tired mommy.
Handsome and proud papa!
Garrett got a new 'big brother' toy train set. Here he is playing happily while visiting Mommy and Lucas in the hospital.
Mommy holding both her boys! a great moment in my life. Garrett is so gentle and happy to be a brother. Wanted to play trains with his brother but I explained that that would have to wait a while.
After a fast delivery (dr. made it just in time to catch).
Close up of the star of the hour.

I hope we get to see him at Christmas! Congrats! Be sure to get video of Garret and him on his arrival home. Great that he wants to play with him already! I love our video of Isaac placing cars in Seths's hands as he was sleeping after coming home from the hospital! So much fun!

Congratulations Shiloh! I'm happy that you are home now. I've been wanting to call, but I decided to wait a couple days to give you some time, since i'm sure you are probably exhausted. I hope you are doing well.
