Our sweet little boy is finally here. Briggs Mitchell Simmons joined our family at 4:36 on Friday afternoon, November 4th. Considering the difficulties of my pregnancy we expected a big baby. I am not sure any of us expected him to weigh 10 lbs, 11 oz! We are already completely in love with this little boy. As we drove home on Saturday evening we marveled at how much love God gives us for our children even when we have only known them a few hours. It is unimaginable to me that this love pales in comparison to God's love for us.
Eli & Knox will be coming home this afternoon, but have already spent some good time with their little brother. Knox appropriately calls him, "Biggs", and Eli begs us to whisper around him. The next few days and weeks will be full of much joy and some difficulties, but we choose to focus on this tremendous blessing God has bestowed on our family.
