Happy 18 Months David, Aria and Levi!! We love you soooo much! You bring abundant JOY in to our lives and you are an answer to years worth of prayer!

Lucas Henry Nebelsick

On Tuesday, November 24th, Lucas Henry Nebelsick officially joined our family. He has been a child of ours and a presence in our lives for 9 months now, but we finally got to meet him! Our 3rd son is absolutely precious and we are so in love!

Lucas was born at 1:02pm, weighing 8 lbs. 6 oz. and was 21 inches long. I would love to journal a better entry about the day. I have so many thoughts about his birth and our child-raising experiences. I don't have time tonight. Lucas is swaddled up beside me on the couch right now. It is midnight and time for us to get to bed! Everyone else is! So, here are some pictures from the first days:
