~Daddy's Favorite Draft Pick~

This cute little shirt was the perfect outfit for little Caleb to wear on daddy's football draft day.  I would say for sure he is daddy's favorite draft pick!
Caleb is 5 days old

This is a newborn's Heisman pose.

~Grace the Artist~

Grace loves to color, just like her sister.  However, I think the infatuation is actually taking the lids on and off rather than actually coloring.

Grace has been working real hard at putting the lid back on when she is finished with the marker.  We have to push until it makes a "pop" sound.

~Caleb has some Visitors~

Mike's family came to visit us on Sunday afternoon so they could meet little Caleb!

Grace loves sitting in Aylah's rocking chair all the time.

Aylah, mommy and Caleb...we're home!

Aylah loves to hold her brother and that is the very first thing she wanted to do when we got home.

Such a proud sister.

We gave the girls a gift each night that we were in the hospital and these alphabet stickers were one of them.  Aylah was so nice to make a welcome home sign for her brother.

We came home from the hospital on Thursday, August 23.  It was a little challenging, since I wasn't sure if I was ready to come home with the headache I had, plus they waited until shift change before they started the discharge process.  We finally got home around 11:00 pm that night.  Aylah was so excited to see him and wanted to hold him all night.  Caleb didn't sleep very well that night, but we made it through his first night at home.

~We Have a Name~

We have had a very difficult time choosing a name for this sweet little boy.  We have gone back and forth with a few names, but have never decided completely on the perfect name.  The last day we were in the hospital we chose that perfect name.
Caleb Michael Sawyer
We chose this name because of Caleb in the bible.  He was a man who wholeheartedly followed the Lord and that has always been our prayer for all of our children.

Look at these amazing hands the Lord created for His work!


~Sweet Baby Boy~

He is just so sweet and I certainly can't get enough snuggles out of him!
