Christmas came early!!!

Alexander Joseph Turner, Jr. arrived on 12/15/07 at 12:07 pm. After a swift 10 hour labor, A.J. decided to make his debut. He weighed in at a whopping 6 pounds 15 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. He is so handsome and a really good baby already. Alex and I love being parents and are amazed at the most precious Christmas gift God could give us. We also received another ginormous present over the weekend which was our house! Our families and friends spent the weekend moving all of our stuff into our new home, painting some rooms, completing the nursery, and organizing the sea of cardboard boxes. We arrived home on Monday to a comfy and beautiful brand new home with our brand new baby. Talk about overwhelming! Here are some pictures of our stocking stuffer for you to enjoy. Thank you for your prayeres!
