Welcome, Noah!

We are excited to announce that Noah Robert Reeves joined our family on Wednesday, May 13, 2009 at 10:48 am.

Due to medical necessity Melanie was induced and labored for 6.5 hours. She did an excellent job through the labor and delivery! Both Melanie and Noah are healthy and recovering well. 

Thank you all for your prayers, help and support to allow Melanie to carry Noah to 37.5 weeks. We feel very blessed that everything turned out well. 

Catherine and Ethan are ecstatic for their new baby brother. Ethan can't keep his hands off of him and has let out plenty of squeals. Catherine is the perfect little helper/mother and they both love to give him kisses. 

We enjoy the special spirit that Noah brings to our home. He gets plenty of love, hugs and kisses in return. We are happy to have him as a part of our family.

Congrats! Melanie I am so glad that you survived another pregnancy. It is always worth it when you see your beautiful children, but you are still amazing to do it! You have to let us know when you swing through CA again, so we can meet your new little one! Take care of yourself!

Lars and Melanie,

Congrats! He is a cute little boy--geeez. Quit tryin to phase up all the rest of us by making your kids so cute! We were supposed to beat you guys to the third child, so I guess we'll just have to have twins next time so we can jump ahead of you. I love Ethan's hair.

Another beautiful addition to the Reeves fam! Congrats! So glad it went well.
This weekend Melissa (Flake) Bates and I met up for the first time in 4 years. We had fun reminiscing about all our BYUH memories - a lot of them involved you guys! Melissa told me she wants to have a baby soon and that she'd call me for advice about baby care - and I told her - NO, call Melanie! She's done it three times now! :)

Congratulations Larry & Melanie & fam!! From what I can see he looks like a little Ethan. Never a bad thing to give Larry one more face to take a picture of - and what a cute face it is. We send our love from the Bishop clan.
