Welcome, little William!

This would be a poor excuse for a kiddo blog if sweet William never got a proper introduction!

Adding a third member to the Wallace kiddo clan…a third member of the delightful crazy…a third source of joy…a third reason to be humbled and oh-so thankful.

Oh, my son.  You are nothing but sweet.  I have never, NEVER, met a baby so calm and peaceful (hmmm, biased much??).  But truly, he is such a sleeper and a cuddler.  We questioned his ability to even cry for the first week or so of his life.  Except that he came into this world screaming.  Making his amazing presence known.  We have been waking this child up since the hospital to eat.  He just loves to sleep.  Such a content little soul.  His peace and calmness have already challenged me…I anticipate much sanctification in this.  How delightful that with the third child comes a reminder of peace in the midst of a “storm.”  Oh, God you are so so good.

Hello, sweet little one-week self!  According to the amazingly accurate Wii (HAH!), Will has gained his birth weight back and his sitting at just over 10 lbs.  We’ll wee what that translates to on Thursday when we journey to the land of the pediatrician and get his official stats.

Oh my goodness, I can’t even tell you how happy these pictures make my heart!

Darling Will – we wait with great anticipation to see what the Lord has planned for your life.  You have already amazed and blessed us.  But for now, we delight in the simplicity of caring for your basic needs and ability to just snuggle and offer much love.  We treasure where you are now.
