Memories In Bloom

New Baby Stimson

I know many of you have been wandering and I should have posted this information sooner, but........... LIFE HAS BEEN BUSY!

Here he is:

Grayson Clay Stimson

Born July 14, 2010 (one week late!)

9lb 7oz, 21 inches long

Here is a scanned image of the birth announcement. Everyone is doing fine and Norah LOVES her little brother.

Norah has started Kindergarten and can't wait to get there each day. Grayson is about 7 weeks old now and doing well (he is over 12lbs and around 23 inches long). I am still "adjusting" to being at home and miss all of you. That is the hardest part. I don't miss the stress of MIB, but I miss the "people" of MIB. Thanks for 9 great years or business and friendship.

I'll leave you with some of my recent favorite photos:

Norah loved him at first sight (with my mother).

Our first weekend home (LOVE the outfits Juanita, thanks!)

He tried to suck his thumb for a while, but I think he is over that.

 
Love that sweet face in my dad's rough hands.

 
  **This blog will likely not be up past September.  I never was very good at keeping it up-to-date, but I always had good intentions. Hopefully somewhere along the way you learned something from it.
