(Psst, sweet friend, see what's on the arm of the couch? The postman was walking up to our mailbox with your package at the very moment Scott, baby, and I pulled into the driveway. It's beautiful. Rilla approves wholeheartedly. Thank you so very much!)
And one last shot, decidedly less than flattering but a little gift for my Twitter pals:
Put the ding-dang camera away, honey, so I can eat my PUDDING!
(I didn't know this photo existed when I was twittering about pudding this morning. When I uploaded the photos this afternoon, I saw it and laughed and laughed. Scott must have snapped that during the one brief moment in time when the pudding was actually still in the bowl. I'm sure I was licking the dish clean five minutes later.)
Congratulations! How wonderful to have some modicum of gender balance in the family. ;-) Beautiful to see the joy on everyone's faces. His name makes him a good little Irishman! (now I get to wonder what all your other kids' real names are ... :-))

Oh Lissa, he is beautiful (I don't care what Scott says :). Just gorgeous. I love his poundage - scrumptious indeed! Blessings to you all from the Laurences up north!

Don't you just love big strapping boys? I know that for us - it made me feel that my boy can absorb all the snuggles, smoochy kisses and rough and tumble his older sisters want to lavish on him! Congratulations to you and your family!!
