A First Time for Everything

Thank goodness for digital cameras. We've been busy capturing all of Gavin's "firsts" and have celebrated his first week of life. Actually, today marks two weeks of life, but it will be a little while yet before we add those photos.

Here are some photos for your enjoyment. (Note: It may seem like we're taking a lot of photos, but believe me, this is just a sampling. We're new and proud parents, afterall, and don't have to worry about "wasting" valuable film.)

Gavin's first trip to the pediatrician (also his first trip out since leaving the hospital). And yes, we were on time to his appointment. So far leaving the house an extra 15 minutes early has worked out for us. But I am very aware that promptness will probably not be a regular occurence.

Gavin's first sunglasses, which will come in handy in a year or two. We also ventured out for something other than a doctor's appointment-- this time, a picnic. It was so nice to get outside and enjoy the sunshine.

Our cutie pie.

Some of Gavin's first sunsets have been phenomenal. This one was particularly stunning. God's great handiwork!
