Joe and I are so very excited to welcome our first child! Sam was eager to get here and please his father by arriving when Joe predicted he would, 12 days early on a Sunday. He is so precious and more than we could ever ask for. It is so wonderful to be parents, words cannot explain the joy that he has brought to us.
