WE ARE HOME!!!!



Well, we made it home yesterday! We were definately more than ready to get here! We still can't believe how all of this ended up!!! We have the most perfect son for our family!!!!

We had a GREAT experience down there and we met some AMAZING people! Besides the people and our beautiful son, my(Sarah) favorite part of the whole trip was the CONSTANT compliment on how good I look for having a 10 day old baby ;-) Some may ask what my response was...the only good one I came up with was THANK YOU...hahaha!!!

All fun and games aside, we truly have a number of people we need to thank!

First and foremost, we want to thank our Heavenly Father!!

Thank you to all of those that took such wonderful care of our kiddo's while we were gone! Shane and Angie, Laura, Brad and Medea, Benny and Julie, Jack and Denise, Dad and Shane and Miriam!!! Ms. Olsen, Ms. Jolene, and Ms. Everson!!!

He is PERFECT!!!!

WOW!!! I don't think you could have wrote a better story for us! Our little Zachary John was born on Tuesday May 12th. He weighed 6lbs and was 17in long. He is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! The doctors and nurses have done a great job with him! We hope to bring him home(our hotel room) on Friday, if not sooner. There is nothing wrong with him, however they are administering antibiotics through an IV due to the lack of prenatal care.
As far as coming home...probably not until the 28th. We have to wait on some paperwork to clear through both states(rumor has it that it takes up to 7 days).

Needless to say, we are on cloud 9 right now! We miss the girls terribly and can't wait to get home, but we are trying to enjoy this "bonding" time with our new little man.

Thank you all for your wonderful support!!!!!!! When we got home from the hospital tonight, we had over 100 emails! Keep them coming;-)

One of these days while we are here, we'll update you on how all of this came about so quickly.

Love to all!!!!

Keith and Sarah
