Sweet Dalton

Our family welcomed a new little one into the world (ok...so he's not that little), and boy is he a cutie! Dalton Payne made his arrival a little earlier than planned, which was not a problem at all with his ready mama! To read more details and see things from his Mama's eyes, click on Dalton's story.

Here's a shot of one proud grandma. Doesn't this Mimi look so sad?

Can I just take the opportunity to say that Autumn is a labor and delivery nurse at the exact same hospital that she delivered at on Saturday (delivering a baby just the Thursday before) and it was so funny to hear her story. I would've thought she wouldn't have had those "first time mom jitters" with years of experiencing the procedures, machines, and lingo but I think she was a self-proclaimed "bad patient" like the rest of us! Hearing her story and view on things made me feel so much better. Thanks for a good laugh Autumn!

As I type this post, Autumn, Todd, and Dalton I believe are all still in the hospital. Poor baby has jaundice and his levels won't go down low enough to be sent home. Please join me in praying for Dalton and for his Mama and Daddy that everyone would be well enough to all go home together soon.

Congratulations to Todd and Autumn on one beautful baby.
