A few from Winston's stay at the hospital...

The meeting of the brothers...

Elliot saw Winston right after he was born...and seemed immediately protective of him.  Saying "That's MY brother!" ... as in no one else better hold him.  Before he went home last night he put a shirt and an outfit in Winston's bassinet.

Here are the two really checking each other out for the first time.

Welcome Winston Miles George!!!

You were born December 28th, 2011...at 5:40pm.  7lbs14ounces...21 inches.  Daddy, Gigis, Grandpa Andy, Geemaw and Jessi all were there to welcome you into the world.  You look a little like your brother...but more so have many of your very own traits.  I am so excited to watch you grow and love you more and more every single day.  Welcome baby Winston.
