Life is beautiful

After anxiously waiting, the newest member of our extended family arrived last night.

It was a long, difficult haul for Mom. I won't steal her thunder, but feel free to read about her superwoman experience here.

We are very lucky to be the closest family, and spent the afternoon (not so) patiently in the waiting room. We did enjoy some good people watching. Our favorite was Brody Lane's grandfather watching Nascar on You Tube, while eating Doritos and drink Mountain Dew. (I realize this is about 25 stereotypes rolled into one, but I promise it's an accurate picture.)

All of the waiting and phone calls was worth it when we got to meet little Zachary Marshall. He is a healthy little man full of snuggly noises and the beautiful scent of a baby.
