Hello! Hello! If you have noticed I have not been online and posting for the last 2 weeks. Yes, our little one has arrived. =)
Orencio Eliseo Hulslander Shaffer arrived February 23th at 8:04 p.m. He was a healthy 5 lbs. 11 oz. and was 18 inches long. He was born with a very healthy set of lungs also and uses them wisely to this day.
Labor went very well . Because of his size he was a piece of cake to push out. His brother and sisters paved the way well for him.
It tickles me pink to show him off to you. Here are a couple of family snapshots.
Orencio and I right after he was born. Already he is bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Orencio and his big brother. Orencio’s first time in his new home.

I know that is a grand name for a tiny one. I wanted to stick with the O’s and I immediately fell in love with Orencio one when I found it.
