The Newest Addition to the Family

I am pleased to introduce you to our newest nephew, Zakariah Timothy Schweitzer!  He was born July 6th at 8:53am, sharing a birthday with his big brother Malaki and great grandmother Helen.  Mary was induced Thursday afternoon and Baby Zak arrived the next morning.  He weighed 8lb 2.5oz and 20 in long, with a ton of dark brown hair.  He is absolutely adorable!  Baby Zak and his Mama went home on Saturday and are doing great adjusting to their new lives.
Big brother Mak couldn't wait to meet his brother and immediately started protecting him.  
We are so very happy for my sister and her beautiful family.  She is a wonderful mother who would do anything for those boys.  I am extremely proud of her and Chris.

1st time in Daddy's arms, with Mak supervising :)

1st time in Grandma's loving arms with Cousin Lincoln

Papa introducing Lincoln to his newest cousin.  Lincoln thought it was so funny that Zak was wearing a diaper.  Ever since he started wearing his undies, he laughs at diapers. :)

Auntie Mel getting all the time I could before leaving.  I feel so blessed to be able to be home when he was born.  I stayed with Malaki, Charlie, and Lincoln but we got there as soon as he was born.  It is amazing how you can instantly love a little person you just met.  

Papa finally got ahold of him.  This means Papa has 5 grandsons!  That's alot of rowdy boys.

Precious and priceless,
so lovable, too-
The world’s sweetest miracle,
baby, is you. ~ Helen Steiner Rice

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH ZAKARIAH AND WILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU!
