my little Leyton

My boy is here! Andrew Leyton was born Friday the 12th weighing in at 8 pounds 5 ounces and measuring 20 inches long!

We finally made it home Monday afternoon from the hospital after a long weekend :-)

He is doing great! Nan is doing great and recovering well! I am forever grateful for all of your love and support. Those of you who came to visit, who prayed for us (don't stop please), emailed us from around the country, text messaged, commented on facebook etc...

A huge thanks to aunt Kristen! Our dear friend Kristen and her husband Jamie, who live in Winter Park, where Nan delivered, were so helpful! We love you guys and will be taking you up on the offer :-) Kristen has just launched her photography business so she came and took some awesome pictures. I haven't posted any of them yet but I will in due time. Shameless plug = www.kristenperreault.com

It's Been a while

So for the two of you that actually read this - sadly it has been too long since my last depressing blog.
Things around here have been absolutely nuts. Let's start with the move - which was great thanks to many wonderful loving people who helped us make it very quickly and thoroughly! Words can't express my thanks and gratitude.

Last week - just after the move we unloaded pumpkins for the Pumpkin Patch which was also pleasant due to the immense amount of student and parent help that moved over 2500 pumpkins in a little over 2 hours!

Last weekend my Dad, stepmother, oldest sister and her boyfriend made the long trek from Meridian to come and help us finish some unpacking, paint the nursery and many other tasks. They were absolutely amazing and vigilant in their help.

On the baby-front, Leyton is doing awesome! We went in for a check-up yesterday and all is well. He is going nuts on his moms ribs and insides as she is often kicked or punched. He will be here in 2 months and we are trying to come to terms with the fact that all we know and hold dear is about to radically change.

I have posted some pictures from my phone of the new crib for those interested. Our new address is 6524 Helmsley Circle Windermere FL 34786

Goodbye

To the home that I hoped I would always have.
To the halls that pushed me harder than I ever thought possible.
To the place where maturation wasn't only expected but made it worthwhile.
To the house that showed me love in more ways that I can ever explain.
To the house that mysteriously showed me Christ in a real tangible way.
To the place where leadership was birthed and nurtured through countless trials.
To the place where thousands of boys became men.
To the place where this man learned how to navigate life with the support of others.
To the place where countless men have met the woman of their dreams.
To the place that evokes raw emotion just by driving by.
To the place that I will always treasure.

To the home I had hoped I would always have.
Goodbye.

Hungry?

'Not too proud to beg'
