Jaxon Ryan

On the evening of September 8, a beautiful baby boy named Jaxon Ryan was born into our family. He has been such a blessing, and I must say that he is kinda partial to his aunt Misty : )
I felt so priveleged that my brother and soon-to-be SIL asked me to stay in the room during the birth. It was a beautiful experience, and I will never forget it. It's hard to believe that our little guy is already three months old. It seems like just yesterday we were here....

Josh and Andrea goofing off....EARLY in the laboring process.

What a beautiful couple : )

I was so proud of my baby brother. He stuck right by her side, and was such a pillar of strength for her.


She was really feeling the pain by this point, but refused the epidural. She might just be the strongest woman I have ever met. An all-natural birth definitely isn't the "easy-way out." But, she was amazing.

This is my favorite picture : ) Hard to believe that my

baby brother is now a father.

What a handsome little fellow

Papaw (my dad) holding his new grandson for the first time. I must say that our

children have the greatest grandparents they could ever want.

Me holding my beautiful nephew....it was love at first sight.

And, yes, I am definitely his favorite aunt. Just ask him.

We love you, Jaxon, and are so blessed to have your presence in our lives. You are the embodiment of joy, and you always have a precious smile on your face. I can't wait for the many years of spoiling you rotten. Aunt Misty loves you!!
