Arrival: Arthur

Our son made his appearance extra uterum at 8:48 a.m. ET on February 2, 2014.  He held on through the big ice and traffic problems that plagued Atlanta earlier in the week.  Anna and baby are doing well.

There is a story to every birth--some with elaborate subplots and minor characters, extended timelines, or exotic locales.  But I do not want to recount Arthur's birth story until Anna and I have time to compare notes.  Still, we wanted to share some of the pictures from the exciting day with you.  A day that we will never forget.  There is more to come.  Much more.

May we introduce Arthur Graham Padgett:

It's so crazy - in one of these pics he actually looks a lot like a newborn pic we have of Amelia (proving, I suppose, that all newbies look pretty much the same - haha!). But in a couple of these, he's totally Asa. He's perfection, anyway you look at it!

I keep coming back to your blog to look at these over and over again. :) Can't get enough of sweet baby Arthur! In the one where he's wearing the hat and has his eyes open he reminds me so much of both Asa & Alden's newborn pics. Congratulations again! Hopefully we can make a trip to ATL again pretty soon.
