And now introducing, Kieran.

Kieran.

Born May 11, 2011.

Weighing in at 10lbs 9 oz.

22 and a half inches LONG.

Our baby boy was born a toddler. ;-) We are so excited to have him in our lives now. He is so precious. Right away he was holding his head up and he seemed more alert than we had imagined he would be.

This Wednesday, he will be 7 weeks, and already a world traveler. Before he was 2 weeks old, he strolled the streets of Cochem, Germany -- under the beautiful castle and vineyards.

At 4 weeks, he had his diaper changed while atop the great Heidelberg Castle, above the city that was nearly demolished during World War II.

Then, at about 5 weeks -- Kieran was able to visit the small town of Rothenberg ob der Tauber -- the quaint little village that still remains within the city walls that held it together during both World Wars.

He is making our lives so exciting, in so maaaany different ways.

We love the little nugget and we are so very excited to keep exploring the world for as long as we've got him.

Looked for a childrens bible today, and we found some good ones -- in the meantime, he can listen to his momma read hers. <3

Not excited to get back to work, but we are hoping we've found the right day care provider. Keep your fingers crossed.

Love always,

Chad.

Ciara.
