The Arrival

Please welcome the newest member of our family...Cooper Scott Schwake.

He came into the world on Thursday, January 17, 2008 weighing in at 8 lbs 13 oz and measuring 21 inches long.

Mom was definitely ready to have this baby!

Labor was a bit longer than we were expecting...this is a not so happy moment during a hard contraction. Thanks for capturing that on film, Scott.

Ahhh, the pain is erased and only happiness takes its place.

Our first family pictures.

Everyone is doing great and adjusting to life at home. More to come when we get more settled.

Thanks to all who wished us well and were praying for us...it worked.
