Declan

Garreth and I have always known we want a big family, but I worry about how, with the addition of each child, a little of our time and attention is taken from the others.  But one thing that I didn't really account for is how much time and attention and affection they all get from each other.  How lucky to be little Declan and to have three older kids who think you are the cutest person on the entire planet.  How lucky to have an audience who thinks every little thing you do is hilariously funny and to have siblings who are so protective of you.   

Here are some pictures of a beloved baby brother from the photoshoot we did for our adoption announcements.

Tasty little creature. It's good when they are good to each other huh? I love when my kids hug and kiss Max.

What a cutie! How wonderful to know that each child is meant for a special family. Where would we be without our sweet little children who had to come a different way to get to our families. Congrats on little Declan's adoption and having such cute kids!

He is an amazingly beautiful little boy! You guys are lucky! I admire people who adopt. It's such an incredible thing.

I agree with the sibling love thing. More kids, more love!
