After 30+ hours of labor, then major abdominal surgery, Jace Alan Ray joined our party.  We could barely to load up with some practical gifts, and a cooler full of Mickey's, and head to the hospital to meet our new friend.

 I hope this kid likes to snuggle, because I think he's going to get a lot of it, whether he likes it or not.  We love you, JR! Take it easy on those grown-ups - they are new to the club - but they will catch on quick.
