Welcome Harlan

From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.
~ John 1:16 from NIV


Our precious new and perfect gift arrived Friday, 11-18-11 at 4:47pm. My guess that morning was that he would be born at 4:36pm. Pretty good guess!

Mom and I got up early Friday and drove to Dallas. We got to the hospital around 12:30pm. I left Hannnah with Brandon. He's such an amazing dad so I knew he could handle it for a couple of days on his own.

Mr. Harlan Frazier Holmes entered the world with ease after a successful induction. Brittany and Jonathan got to the hospital Thursday night and by Friday mid-day she was laboring on her own. And at 4:47pm he was born. He weighed 7 lbs 12 oz and was 20.5 inches long. We were all so excited and nervous waiting out in the lobby for the good news.


We waited all day and around 6:30pm Jonathan finally brought him out for all to see. It was so special. My brother looked so proud of his baby boy and I'm so proud of him and Britt.







I was only in Dallas for a short time, but I got to hold him the day he was born and the day after and that meant so much to me.


Here are some photos they took in the hospital. He's so precious I can't believe he'll be already a month old the next time I see him. I miss him already :(
