Welcoming Baby Hill!

On November 8th at 8:04 am we welcomed the newest member of our family.  Named after my great grandfather, Hill Ferguson Roughen came into the world weighing in at 9 lbs, 7 oz and measuring 20 inches long.  We are overjoyed about his arrival and big brother Tripp has enjoyed teaching him the ropes already.  Below are some photos from Hill's first week with us.

Meeting the Grandparents

We want to thank our parents, Tripp & Hill's grandparents, for helping us during Hill's birth, hospital stay, and the first week at home.  We are lucky to have such loving, caring, and willing-to-help family.  These boys will feel the love of these special folks for their entire lives.  Thanks, grandparents & Aunt SuSu, too!

If you look close enough, you can see Shug's cast on her left arm.
She broke her wrist 2 weeks before Hill's birth and is still healing.  

Sweet Baby Hill

Such a good baby so far!
