Shepherd Landon Green was born on Friday, June 19th, 2009, at 3:00 a.m. He weighed 5 lbs., 8 oz., and was 20 inches long. A little pipsqueak! He's got dark hair and baby grey eyes, both of which are very likely to change if our other children are any indication.

Our family of six!
The kids were reluctant to share their new baby brother with their grandparents, and couldn't wait for their next turn to hold him:
Emma, the excellent big sister, with Shepherd:
Garfield with his new baby brother, who he hopes "will stay tiny forever":
Elizabeth's been claiming that "baby brother is so cuuuute!" and "I can't wait to love on him" for weeks now. She finally gets her chance:
Time to get this crew home!
Watching our kids love on their new brother with pure joy has been more of a delight than we ever expected. This child has plenty of hands to hold him, and is in danger of being smothered with kisses!

What a beautiful family! I can't believe how much older each of your kids look as they hold baby Shepherd. Congrats!
He is precious, as are all your sweet kids. A tiny one reminds me of your first baby. Emma was the littlest thing! Now she's the big sister. Wow. Hope life will soon find a new "normal" for your growing family!
Wow Steph! He is so tiny but oh so precious! You look absolutely gleeful in the first photo or maybe that's your "I can't believe what has just happened look!" I need to hear your birth story.
So happy for you and your family and look forward to meeting little Shepherd. What a great name!

CONGRATULATIONS! He is so tiny! Wow! I cannot believe how long he is! (Phyra is that long but weighed almost lbs more!)
Glad to hear you made it just in time to the hospital. What an adventure!
Looking forward to meeting him in person. Love you guys!
He is adorable and so cute and tiny. Can't wait to meet him.

Yippee! Pictures! Thank you for taking the time to post them! I love the look on your face in the first one after he was born. It sums it all up well! :) Now, shame on you for giving me baby fever! :) Thanks again for the pics. Made my day!
Congratulations! What a beautiful family. I remember when all you had was Emma crawling around!
These pics just make me cry! What a precious family you are! I can't believe how BIG Elizabeth looks all of a sudden. You just seem so ready to be a family of 6...it looks good on you all :)
Congratulations! I love that you can see the love pouring out out of the kids as they look at their new brother.
I love the look on your face in that first picture! Sounds like you've got a pretty good story that I can't wait to hear... when you have a moment to tell it. :)
