Oh Baby!


Our little angel, Mackay Rasband Norton, joined our family yesterday at 4:28 PM.  With Shannon being a Rock Star and Mackay eager to join our family, the delivery was brief and seemingly effortless.  Truly Shannon didn't even break a sweat - she is amazing!  We are so grateful he is perfect, healthy, and strong in every way.  He looks just like Camden did as a newborn, with just a little less hair.  One of the greatest miracles in life is the birth of a beautiful child.  We feel so blessed that this miracle has happened to our family.  We love holding him in our arms and staring at his deep blue eyes.  While Camden is still trying to figure it all out, he has had the sweetest moments of holding, admiring, and touching Mackay.  (And even sharing his favorite suckers with his little brother!)  It's incredible to think that our family has now grown to 4.  We couldn't be happier and more grateful for how blessed we feel.  Mackay's temperament is gentle and calm, but then, he is just over 24 hours old. :)  We can't wait to get to know him more and more everyday.  Here are some pictures from our first day with our long-awaited arrival, sweet Mackay.
