Okay, I'll let Paula and Austin share the details, but.....I have never seen a baby with so much hair!! He's actually got sideburns, and the back is long enough that it could be cut!!!! Oh yeah....he's soooo cute.

Congrats Schlarbs :) Can't wait to meet him!

Chris - Now that you're attending a different church, who's going to hold this little guy during church service?

Missy said...

Wow, so he made it here before the family leaves for vacation, that's good. It might make it a little tougher to leave! :)

Hand 'em over, I would be happy to take over the baby holding duties for Chris! Of course I'd have to compete with Brenna!!

Actually with the baby here, I think it will be easier to leave. Yeah, we'll miss him, but I would have been so sad leaving Paula. We would have been wondering all the time if she was in labor or depressed. Now even though she will miss everyone, she will be so busy and exhausted she can just sleep whenever she gets a chance. Plus now Austin will be home with her where as he wouldn't have been if the baby hadn't come yet.

I will be more than happy to hold the Maddox during church. So, glad to hear that he came before vacation sounds like everyones prayers were answered. Can't wait to get all the details on him.
