Houston, the boy tot has landed!

**Updated with more pictures!**

While visiting Jeff's mom Joy in the hospital this evening (she had knee replacement surgery yesterday, and is looking great today!), my phone started buzzing. After another near-meltdown day with no news about our second tot, I looked to see who was calling and ran from the room! Thus we received our news about our boy.

Meet Carter Petacchi! Born December 3rd, in Mazatenango, Guatemala! 6 lbs, 7 oz., 17.8 inches long. I think he is 3 days old in the first two pictures, and 9 days old in the last one. Aside from lactose intolerance, he's a healthy little lad.




Long live the "cyber twins!"

Thank you, everyone! I'm feeling pretty lucky today.

Karen, they do look like siblings! Cass outweighs Carter by a few ounces, and she's 9 days older, hope she doesn't beat him up!

As an older sister of one younger brother, I foresee no problems with "beating up privileges" every now and then. My bro is at least 6'3" now--I had to get it while the gettin was good! But seriously, Erica, ONE Diaper Champ? Let's be realistic, now, Kims...
