Here are some pictures from yesterday afternoon when the older kids had their first visit with Lucas

The first family photo with Lucas.

The most experienced big brother holding Lucas

Max was very proud. He took many turns holding his new brother.

Sophia thought he was very cute, but was considerably less careful than her older brothers when holding him. We'll need to work on that.

We couldn't talk Henry into holding Lucas. He was, however, very into the idea of giving Kara all the presents that aunt Kathy had so generously helped the kids pick out for the new baby. Henry did think it was hilarious that we are going to spend the night in the hospital. "You gonna sleep here!?!?" he said while laughing.

Tim was happy to hold Lucas with some assistance. I'm not sure if he know what to think about the little guy.

And a couple bonus pictures of just Lucas. He was feeling cooperative and had his eyes open for these. We will be coming home sometime Saturday. Kara is feeling good. Lucas is doing good. All is as expected with his single kidney: it is there and functioning, so nothing to worry about. He is starting to be a little more awake today.
