We brought Lucas home on Saturday, September 29. It was a sunny fall day. The leaves on the trees were all still green Thursday but by Saturday they had all become yellow and brown and orange, a nice welcome home for our little guy.

Timmy wants a look too. (Alex was still at a weekend camp out with boy scouts and didn't get home until the next day.)

Saturday night before bed Henry finally holds his newest little brother. He's now hooked and wants to hold him all the time. Really, everyone loves to hold the little guy.
