More proof as to why Amber isn't a baby photographer.

We hope you had a good Thanksgiving. We had the pleasure of spending ours at Aundrea and Chuck's house. They were great hosts and between them and the babysitting help of Levi's Gran and Grandpa, these new parents got to take a nice long nap. Here are a few new pictures. More can be found at our Shutterfly site.

He's Here!

Has anyone else noticed the sun shining more brightly lately? Maybe it just seems that way to us…

Levi Rush Dickson was born on this past Monday, November 5, 2007 at 5:19 p.m. He weighed 7 pounds and 14 oz and was 20.5 inches long. The labor started by induction, that morning at 6 a.m. The pushing started at 2 p.m. and three long, long, long hours (no epidural!) later he was born.

The baby is doing well and so is his Momma. Unfortunately, his Daddy got a horrible and violent stomach virus of some sort just several hours after the birth. The next day Levi’s Nana and Poppa came down sick as well. The three of them had to be quarantined and sadly banned from the hospital room. Thankfully the worst has passed and they are doing better.

We were discharged from the hospital this afternoon and got to bring home our beautiful baby. What a wonderful day! We’re excited, thankful, and exhausted. Thanks for your prayers and sharing your excitement with us.
