I'm thrilled that I got to hold this amazing new life. It has been so long since I held an infant. I had forgotten how soft they are...and how small! I'm glad you are healing well Gretchen!

Congratulations you guys! Ian is so beautiful. I'm glad you were able to agree on a "boy" name. :) Love it! Hope to meet the little guy soon!

Love,
Kiersten, Michael and Gus

Oh Chris and Gretchen!

We are so happy to see pictures of Ian, what a beautiful little boy. And Cooper sitting up with you Gretchen is too cute.

Sorry to hear of the csection, and many prayers that you heal quickly and get some rest when you can.

I'll sign up for a meal to bring the happy Howard family.

Sandi (& Gang)
