Awwwww cute pic's of brand new Devon! Of all the things that happened today my favorite is that today is his 41st birthday! I hope he is having a good day and you are so right...he is loved! :)
Wow, I knew this was an important day because Devon was born on this date but so many important things happened. I'm sure Devon is proud to know that the first football game happened on this date in 1895. Very cool!
Love those pics of baby Devon who was smiling happily in his sleep (or passing some very good gas) at 4 days old :-)
