Together

For the first time in 2 3/4 years our family was all in the same place, and now there are thirteen of us. I didn't take nearly enough pictures, and I'll only put in a couple that have the baby in them. We could have taken a group picture, but it is so hard to get one where everyone looks OK. Even if you do take a group shot, it looks stiff and posed.

Luke spent a lot of time eating and resting with his mom. He spent an equal amount of time being held by uncles, aunts, and grandparents. By the end of the day his poor dad was lonely for him. These pics are an uncle and an aunt holding him.

It is pretty difficult to get a perfect shot with a newborn. Their faces move so much and my camera seems to be more likely to get a grimace than it is to get his peaceful look.

Today he is a week old.

It was a fast week.
