Our Newest Family Member




Today, March 3rd, the adorable Hunter Stephen Maxwell entered the world! After months of waiting for his arrival, we all gathered around at Banner Desert Hospital and watched as his proud BIG brother met him for the first time. It couldn't of been any sweeter. Before we left the hospital, Jeffrey said that he "wished for a little brother more than he wished for his DS, Wii, and anything else at his house". And actually, we all agree that this little blessing who weighed 7lbs and 10 oz, truly was brought into our lives because he has a big brother who wanted nothing else in the world. We all fell instantly in love with the "mini Jeffrey" and couldn't be any prouder of his mommy who couldn't of done a better job carrying the little guy in her tummy despite the most hectic of schedules. And although Bryan didn't actually deliver Hunter, he did one heck of a job taking care of Emmy through out her pregnancy and the delivery. Congratulations on such a wonderful son! We love him SO much already!!

Me: So, Jeffrey, what is your favorite thing about your baby brother?
Jeffrey: He has a soft nose and head and just everything!
Me: What did you think of when you first saw him?
Jeffrey: I was thinking about all of the good things and how I have to get used to having a little brother.
Me: What do you think will be the best part of having a little brother?
Jeffrey: Him having a good life and a good time and watching him grow!
