Welcome Baby Beckett!

Once again we have been so blessed and are so grateful. Beckett Lee Tharp joined the world yesterday at 4:45 p.m. He weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces and is 21 inches long. I went into labor Wednesday night and had a longer and harder labor than with big sister Natalie, but all is well now. He has a mess of blonde hair and blue eyes, which we hope stay blue! This little man stole our hearts right away. He has a wonderful peace about him and is very calm. We came home this afternoon, and Natalie already loves to kiss and hold him. We're going to rest up this weekend, but I'll write more later this week. Thanks to everyone for the calls and visits and good wishes.

Big sister Natalie finally understands she has a real baby brother and will get to take him home!
