Alden loves to have his hands up by his face. He sure slept a lot in that first week. But we did take him outside to show him around.

What a delight it was to return from vacation and find Alden’s birth announcement in our collection of mail! A more adorable baby I’ve never seen…and we are pleased to see that he is already a sports fan! (My favorite photo of our Lindsey at 2 months was of her lying on Jeff’s chest, both stretched out on the sofa with heads turned toward the Michigan game on the TV.) Hugs to all!
So fun to see him in that onesie!! xoxoxox
