For unto us a child is born...Jack Andrew Barton

Hello all! We're proud to present you to the newest member of our family, Jack Andrew Barton. Jack was born at 5:24AM on Dec. 7th. He was 7lbs 15oz and 20.5 inches. We pulled into the hospital around 4:55ish and Jack was born ~30 minutes later. Let's just say he was anxious to get here! Katie and Jack are both doing very well. We feel so blessed that everything worked out so well with the pregnancy and delivery.


Here is the view out our window of the sun rising over the Boston skyline. Beautiful.





Here is Chris meeting Jack for the first time.




Greg & Janene came out to help. Thanks guys!


Tickling his toes.


Jack has a light blonde, slightly reddish hair.


That night, for our bedtime book, Chris and I read a cute book about being an older brother (thanks mom).


So there you have it! The crazy adventures of our family continue. Again, if anyone would like to come say hi, our house is always welcome.
