"Unto us a child is born"...literally! Wyatt James Neufeld made his grand entrance at 5:43 PM on Thursday, December 22nd. 9lb 1 oz 21" long Everything. Perfect.

Everyone loves PaPa Ashtyn bit her... The grandmas bring out the 1st pictures of Wyatt. Daddy comes out all aglow! Oh, PaPa tied Walker's sleeves together b/c he kept chewing on them. Lookin' good, MaMa! Brothers unite. Uncle Matt
