New Baby Wesley

Well, here he is, Wesley Richard Woodruff Thomas. Our new son was born on Nov. 1, 2008, at 2:58 in the morning. Kristal had a 27 hour labor, and made it through, all be it exhausted. She started her labor early Halloween morning, about 1am. We made it to the hospital about 1pm that day, and things SLOWLY progressed from there. For those of you who have kids, you know what an amazing thing it is to watch the birth of a child. I (Dave) will never forget that day, what my wife endured for our new son, what the first cry was like, the first time I was able to hold his tiny little hand, the fear I felt at first knowing the responsibility, the peace that comes and the love that washes away that fear. It is an experience like no other. There are a couple of pictures below, one with Nana (Kristal's Mom), and a couple more of the boy. We thank you for the prayers, the endless help offered, the food that keeps coming, and most of all we thank God for all the amazing people in our lives that have helped us enjoy this time even more!
