Many Firsts


From his head...


Down to his toes, Abraham is about as new as they come. Everything is a first for him. However, with his arrival, he has given many other people the opportunity to have some firsts as well!


New Mom


New Dad on his first walk!


The new Grandmama


Three generations of new- New Grandfather, new Dad, new baby


First time grandparents- Nona and Papa


The new Great-Grumpy


The new Great-Gma

Grandma Galli is also a Great-Grandma for the first time, but unfortunately we'll have to wait a little while before we see her in Georgia. The same for Grandpa Galli in Nevada.
Gigi is also a great-great grandma for the first time. Unfortunately, she died in September of 2006, but we are sure she gave him some great advise as they passed on the way. We think that he might also have her to thank for his kiss-able lips.
And sorry to the 9 new aunts and 4 new uncles- there wasn't room on this blog to include a picture with each of you :) Put them up on your facebook pages.
Of course, I'm sure it's wonderful to be a great-grandma for the 2nd time, as Gma Marshall is, and a great-grandma/great-grandpa for the 16th time as the Sorensen Grandparents are.
It's been a beautiful four days with our little boy. As wonderful as it is to be his mother, I realize that this baby is coming to our whole family. He has wonderful family lines on all sides. He is a special boy, with a special life to live, and it has been humbling to receive him into our family.

"Sexy darling, your lips are lovely!"

...remember that from walking the streets of London?? Little Abe man does have very kissable lips. In fact, when Peter saw the pictures he said "baby!" and then he leaned in and kissed the computer screen. :-D

He is just precious! I know you're humbled to be his parents, but I bet he was just as humbled to get to come to you two. You're wonderful individuals and I'm sure you're amazing parents already! Congrats! We can't wait to hold that little guy!

We posted one of Adorable Abe and us on our blog! We really do feel like he's one of the family. We are looking forward to seeing you again this weekend (Saturday/Sunday). Have a great week!
