We are so happy to introduce Luke William Jarrett to all our friends and family! He made his grand entrance on Friday, July 11th at 2:45 pm. Weighing in at 8lbs 6oz and 20 inches long, he is as healthy as can be and simply perfect. Luke is a name we liked from round 1 and William is a family name we chose in honor of one of Kurt's grandfathers. He looks a lot like his big brother, but also has many "just Luke" features. He has brown hair just like Blake did...but you can see that didn't last very long! He will most definitely have blue eyes and that extra pound is already showing up in his chubby little cheeks and chin.
Mommy was very excited that he decided to arrive 4 days early...especially since he was already 8 1/2 pounds! Labor and delivery went as well as to be expected and Mommy is doing really well. We were so fortunate to have had our favorite Doc deliver him and we had an amazing pair of nurses to help us through it all.
Blake was able to meet his little brother "Wuke" on Saturday morning and what a special treat that was. We aren't convinced he realizes Luke is going to be around for awhile, but it was so precious to see him hold Luke and to witness both o our children together for the first time.
We are forever in debt to our friends Mindy, Jerod and Griffin for adopting Blake this weekend. Even with a 2:00 am phone call and taking care of two 2 year old boys all weekend...they still want to be our friends!! We are also so grateful for the Funderburk family and helping us out with Molly. She had a great time visiting her BFF Cali!
Thanks to everyone who has visited, called and sent well wishes our way this weekend and to all of you who kept me sane for the last few weeks...months. We can't wait for you to all meet him.
Here are some pics to get things started...there will certainly be lots more!

What a precious gift from God. Congratulations!! He is absolutely beautiful! (Jacob reminds me that is not a "boy language" word, but he IS beautiful!)
Welcome to the world, little guy! We love you and your big brother very much! I can't wait to see you in person and hold you.
Love, Aunt Jill (and Uncle Ross, Maddie, & Jacob)
Congrats, what a beautiful (or should I say handsome?!) little guy!
I know you don't know me, but I'm your sister, Jill's, neighbor and she has kept me posted on your pregnancy/birth seeing as I'm a moaning and groaning pg person now too :) (2 mos to go!).
But, I was so excited to hear you had your sweet little boy (and that you had him early...lucky you!) and I have loved seeing the pics of Big Brother Blake with his little bro. Too cute and makes me excited to see our 2 year old, Dylan, with his new sister. Your boys are the cutest and I must say they are a definite resemblance to their cute cousin, Jacob :)
May God continue to bless your sweet family.
I promise to keep a close eye on your wonderful sister and her family (and two wandering girl dogs) from across the street :)
Enjoy that new baby and enjoy your sister's visit soon! Congrats again!
Hugs and Best Wishes, Kelly :)
