Welcome Baby Matthew!

Tim, Rachel and Kate

joyfully announce

the arrival of

Matthew Gleason George

on Friday, September 17th at 12:28 PM.

Matthew was 20 inches long and weighed in at 8 lbs, 7 ozs.

Matthew is very healthy, an enthusiastic eater

and is a very content baby.

We are completely smitten with this little fellow

and are enjoying a special family bonding time.

We couldn't be more proud of Kate -
who is adjusting very well to her new role as "big sister."

Of course, a few presents didn't hurt matters!

Kate was very excited to receive a bracelet

from her Baby Brother.

We really couldn't have survived the past 5 days

without lots of help from

Gran (my mom)

and

Grandma & Papa (Tim's parents)!

We were very happy to come home from the hospital

on Tuesday!

When Matthew was sad, Kate brought him

her very favorite Miss Daisy.

It was a very sweet moment!
