Our Newest Little Someone To Love

Personalize your own free digital slideshow We are so excited to announce that Rowan Henry Krelle joined us on December 17, 2010. He was born at 10:39am and weighed in at 8lbs 13 oz and 21" long. He is healthy and I can't get enough cuddles in on him. We couldn't feel more blessed or more love for such a precious little guy. Tatum and Grant love on him all the time. Tatum is really big on holding him. Grant really likes to point to Rowan and kiss him. He also likes pointing to all of Rowans body parts, hands, eyes, ears and such, and then point to his own....not sure if he is comparing, or just thinking it makes a fun game. I can't think of a more fun time for a family than the birth of a baby. Having Rowan here for Christmas really made it quite special for all of us. The best gift I got this year was the gift of love that I have for Rowan. I can truly say that I feel like a little miracle happened the moment he entered this world.

Hello and Merry Christmas to all of our family and friends. We hope this letter finds you all doing well this holiday season.

This year we will give you a glimpse of our year in numbers...so here it goes.

3---How many days Tatum goes to preschool each week.

Countless....The number of times we find ourselves being thankful for booth our families for their generosity in watching Tatum and Grant for us while we work, have date nights, doctor appointments and so on. We are truly blessed by having them.
