Introducing my sweet nephew

Yesterday was a great day. Summer called at about 7:00 Monday morning to report that she was going to have Pierson today and they were on their way to the hospital. I promptly got up and called in a sub for the day. After stopping by school, I got to the hospital at about 8:30. We had a fun time visiting in the waiting room with friends and family that stopped by, and at 11:04 Pierson Reed made his debut. He is 6 lbs. 10 oz. and 18.5 inches long. He is beautiful (of course)! Here are some pictures from the day (in no particular order).

He looks a lot like Ava did, but with much more hair.

And I enjoy holding my sweet nephew for the first time!
