There's someone we'd like you to meet...







Caleb Nathan Sheppard was born February 21st at 3:10 pm, weighing 8 lbs 2.5 oz. Delivery went well, and Marlene, Caleb and Luke soon made their way to the post-partum unit. Soon after Calebs arrival, Nana & Papa Sheppard arrived to welcome their newest grandson. Soon after, auntie Jana, Pam Grandma Larose and brother Dylan arrived to meet the newest bundle of joy. We estimate that approximatley 6,129 digital photos were taken that evening! Only slight hyperbole here, but it did seem like quite a bit. The first night went well - with no roomate. By the second night, however, the arrival of a roomate had Marlene desperately wanting to be discharged. We headed home Thursday morning at noon.

At home, Dylan eagerly awaited the arrival of his new brother! With only a brief visit in the hospital, Dylan was anxious to explore this new 'toy', since in the hospital he was often more interested in the IV pump than his new brother.

Settling into a home routine has proven to be fairly painless, granted we still have Grandpa and Grandma Larose here to help out. I am sure things will change, once the crowd disperses.

Our lives have changed once again, and we could not be more proud to have a new son. God has, and continues to truly bless us. We look forward to a lifetime of making memories with 'our boys'.

They are spectacular little boys!
Doesn't Dylan look three times bigger than he did before Caleb was born?
I can't wait to see you guys!
