3+ Weeks

Luke is now approaching the 4 week mark. It seems both much longer than that, and like he was born yesterday (though, boy am I glad that he wasn't!). He is thriving and growing (and EATING) like a champ, and Paul & I are doing well, too. His first week's drama aside -- oh, and dealing with his being tongue-tied -- we don't have anything terribly original to report. We've been housebound, sleep deprived (though other parents tell us we're lucky that we get 3-4 hour stretches during the night), and completely smitten. All of his grandparents were finally spared delays due to snow, sleet, cold, flu, and travel obligations and have come to visit and have declared him a keeper. We can't help but agree.

Thanks to everyone who has sent well-wishes and baby treats our way. Luke's looking forward to meeting you all!

And now I will cut to the chase. Without further ado, MORE PICTURES.

As Paul's Grandpa (Michael) Casey might have called this: The Next-to-the-Last and the Last of the Mohicans. This might be my favorite picture to date.

Luke Michael Vincent and his Grandpap, Donald Vincent. They're both on their way to sleepytown.
A special thanks to Emmett Reynolds in Seattle for handing down the cute outfit!

Luke, posing on Monday night. Or at least caught in a rare late evening moment of non-crying.
