It's a Boy!

Please humor me and allow me to post a few non-soccer photos. Elijah (because we like the name) Ronald (after one of the best grandfathers a person could have) was born around 2:45 on Thursday, March 29th. He was 20" long and 7 pounds 8 ounces. On my dad's side of the family, he joins nine great grand daughters, 5 grand daughters and, of course, he is the first boy in our family. I would like to type more about Elijah, his sisters and his hot mamma, but I'm tired and I will just post a few pictures.I married "up".
Poor kid, he has no idea what he is getting into...
Of course I was certain that I wore a Maranatha Soccer t-shirt for this occasion... - C

I see Eliana found her way back to Mom's lap quickly. I miss you all so much! That kid is a baby Josh! I love you, Josh, Sarah, Elise, Eliana, and Elijah! See you in a month!

Congratulations Coach and Mrs. Coach! Looks like fun, and I am proud of you for wearing the Maranatha Soccer shirt! Also, I think that's the longest I have seen your hair in a while! :) I like it! Anyway, enjoy the cute kid. Hope to meet him in May.

Congratulations, guys! We are SO happy for you. Sarah, I'll be praying for you - a boy will probably rock your world after having two girls!! I can't wait to see who he looks like as he grows.

YAY!!! I'm so glad you got to post! And he's 100% Caucutt-looking at this point ~ he's a sweetie, & I hope you guys have fun zombie-ing around for the next six weeks (I call those the hell weeks).

Congratulations! He definitely looks like a Josh Jr. :) I think it's interesting how the moms look great and the dads look tired after the birth. The siblings look big next to the baby too. I'll be sending a gift for the little guy soon. Hope to meet him in person too.

Thanks for the update, Josh! Congratulations! I especially love the picture where Eliana is trying to pry baby E out of your arms. And then the pic of her with her fingers in her mouth in Mommy's lap is precious too! Hope you are able to get some sleep and enjoy your family!

Congrats, you guys. What a precious little guy -- and a blessing to have a little man in the family!

Is Middle E feeling a bit of sibling rivalry? Bless Sarah's heart as she tries to keep up with everybody!

Hey
Congrats! I love that you named him Elijah. My Elijah will think that is neat too. I'm glad everything went okay and Sarah is doing well. You have a beautiful family! Hopefully someday my family will get up there for an Alumni days weekend and we'll get to introduce the E's (and my I - Isaiah).
