Big Changes for Luke's Life!

On February 12, 2009 at 1:05, Luke became a big brother! We are happy to welcome Abigail Elizabeth Ford to our family! Abby came into the world at 9 pounds 3 ounces and 21.5 inches. She is a beautiful baby girl who has already made our lives richer, and we can't wait to see how life changes as a family of four. Luke is slowly getting used to the idea of being a big brother, but it may still take a while for him to fully warm up to the idea!

A proud big brother!
