LUCA BLAIR SMITH


The last picture I will probably ever take with a watermelon for a belly.

We welcomed Luca Blair Smith on June 27, 2018.
6 lbs 13 oz, thankful he was strong even with making his own double knotted cord!

Our first baby to avoid the NICU, Luca our Italian/Spanish  love got a 9.9 out of 10 on the Apgar score.
To give you a reference, little Levi got a 2 at birth. 

Couldn't be happier!

We were so thankful to add another boy despite what people may guess. It's all we know now, and all we love!

Proud papa, a great dad to raise godly men!

I mean... 


Sweet time together in the same room at birth. I've never experienced anything like it.
I'm so accustomed to leaving the hospital without my baby that it felt like an utter gift to have everything happen so easily. Thank you Lord!


My boys were excited to come visit!

Time to leave the peaceful hospital and enter the loud Smith home. 

Instead of jealousy like I thought, these boys are fighting over playing with baby Luca. 

Who wouldn't?


Special movie night to make the transition a little easier. 

Incredibly thankful for these boys entrusted into our care for a short time.

From top to bottom, left to right, each of my boys was perfectly designed, not by me, but given to me for a time.
"Children are a heritage from the Lord,
    offspring a reward from him.
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
    are children born in one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man
    whose quiver is full of them." Psalm 127:3-5
Welcome to the world Luca Blair Smith! 
We love you!

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
