Introducing... Apollo James

Sunday, December 12th, Rick and I received a phone call from our adoption agency telling us that a sweet birth mother had chosen our family for her baby. The next evening we were able to get to know her when we went out to dinner together. She is a beautiful, lady to whom we will always be grateful. She had her baby 5 days later and we were able to take baby boy Anderton home December 19th.
We feel so blessed, and Ivy, Luke, and Alyssa can't get enough of him.
It took us 10 days to name him, but we finally decided on Apollo James.
He is such a joy to our family!
Here is is the picture we used for the announcement:




Here are a few that didn't make the cut:)






Oh, the little angels!
