I will never get over the wonder of newborn babies. They are simply a miracle. On Sunday, September 4th, our great nephew,Jaxon Wade Hamilton, decided to make his appearance (with a little help from Pitocin). He weighed in at 9 pounds, 13 ounces, and was 21 inches long, so obviously it was time for him to come on out! His parents, Sarah and David, recently moved from Florida to North Carolina, so we are very grateful to have them a few hours away. You might remember them from our post about their recent
visit to pick up some furniture. Well...because they are so close now, my Mom and I decided to make the 3 hour drive and surprise them at the hospital. Jaxon is great grandchild #9 for Gigi, so she was anxious to meet him in person!
Here are a few pictures I snapped of him right after we arrived and Gigi got to hold him. He is about 17 hours old.

Shortly after we arrived, my brother and his wife, affectionately known as Grandpa and Grandma, brought Jaxon's big sister Addyson by for her first visit with her baby brother. She was thrilled and just loves him to pieces!

Gigi brought Addyson some bubbles, so she had a good time with Grandpa trying them out:

I was amazed when Sarah was released on Monday and able to go home less than 48 hours after she had given birth! She was more than ready to be together as a family, get some rest, and sleep in her own bed. Here is Jaxon at home. As you can tell, Grandpa's cat Regalla is really upset by the new baby...hehe!

Congratulations once again to Sarah, David and Addyson on their new addition, and to Johnny and JoAnn on their handsome new grandson! Love you all!

Thank you Linda for driving me to Charlotte so that I could meet Jaxon and see Sarah and David's new home for the first time, and thank you for this post. Yes, I am truly blessed!
