Surprise
Back in November, Nathan and I began the adoption journey. This week we received our little blessing. His name is Jaren William Corae Cardon. He was born on March 11 and weighed 5 lbs. 13 oz. and was 19.5 inches tall. He had quite the cone head so we assume he will be shrinking a bit. The whole process was an emotional one, but we are sure it will be well worth it to have Jaren as a part of our little/big family. We already love him and are so grateful to his birthmom for her willingness to share him with us. So far he is a dream baby who mostly sleeps. His cry is a little squeak. We are hoping those characteristics will continue but will not be holding our breath. The girls are in heaven having him around and want to constantly stroke his shiny, black hair. Unfortunately, Libbie decided to get the stomach flu last night so she has been unable to hang out with him. Anyway, here is our little string bean...

Yay! Pictures. I am so glad he is home with you all. We are so excited to meet him. He is so adorable. We love you guys.
Okay, I am definitely surprised!!! Wow, I didn't even know you were hoping to adopt! I have a desire to adopt when the boys get a little older. I'm so happy for you!! How neat and different and fun to have a boy around all those big girls!
I am the intern at Nathan's Lehi office. I am so excited about your new little Jaron. Congrats! He is so beautiful.
Your girls are so cute too. How do you do all that hair? I love it!
Poor Libbie not getting to hold him yet. I am sad that we haven't either. Hopefully Caleb and Libbie will get over it at the same time and we can come and see him. So happy for you. He looks great.
I want to ball - he is so perfect! Congratulations! We love you and are so glad this little guy could go to your home!
um...just wanted to thank you for putting up that insanely hideous picture of me. :) anyway, so glad he's home and officially part of your family!!
I'm crying right now! He is so beautiful! I was just telling my husband how anxious I am to hear some news. When you have a chance, I'd love to hear all about how everything went.
He's pretty cute! I want to come see him in person when things slow down a bit. (Is it just me or does Claire not look super happy?)Yea for no more hair to do in the mornings.
Yeah!
I love those cheeks. He is a doll. Perfect fit!
Congratulations.
Yahoo for little boys! I bet your girls are so excited. He is sooooo darling and I am so excited for you and your family. Have fun and remember to cover! ;)
Thank goodness for the internet. It is fun to see Jaron and be a little part of his/your life. Congratulations, on the new addition. He is a doll! We look forward to loving him and getting to see you all. Much love from us...
He is so adorable. I love babies little lips. They are so sweet. He is so precious. I'm so glad everything went okay.
