We named him......................

Kellyn(Kel-lyn) Sean Gates
Kellyn=Warrior
Sean=God is Gracious

Here he is Sunday Oct.25th with his Sisters after church. We brought him home from the hospital later that evening.

Kellyn wrapped in the Gates blanket. All of Sean's siblings and now all of the grandkids have been brought home in this blanket.

Sean the proud Dad leaving the Hospital. In truth, I think he was just glad we finally named Kellyn and he could take us home.

The minute we got home from the Hospital the girls had to hold him. It is now a ritual to hold him before and after school.They are very loving with Kellyn.

Picture with the soccer blanket. By the way, Kellyn has soccer feet according to Sean. I'm sure he will do a post on this!

Sean trying to instill the love of chocolate at a very early age to Kellyn!

He is so sweet.

Halloween. 8 days old.

It's a boy!

Well, today we welcomed a beautiful baby boy into our family. At a hefty 8 lbs. 14 oz and 20.5 inches long he is a big 'un. :D Check out the great pictures below.

Julie's first moments with him. He looked right at her when she talked to him.

When they took him to the crib to measure him he held onto my finger for a moment

A better close up just moments after birth while they checked his vital signs and recorded all his stats.

The first time I got to hold him

He's checking me out

Fiona was a little unsure at first, but after Aida got to hold him, she was all over it and held him for quite a while. They are very, very happy big sisters. I'm sure they'll have tons of fun (and probably some skirmishes) with their little brother.
