It was a cold, windy night as we made our way down the streets to the hospital. In only a few short hours, our little Alex would be born. For some reason, our kids seem to enjoy coming during the night. Alexander Joe Greenfield arrived early on December 7, 2012. He weighed 8 lbs. and 7 oz. and was 21 ¼ inches long. He has some dark peach fuzz on his head and looks much like his big brother Andrew did when he was born. So far, he is more laid back than his siblings were. The other day, Andrew was pretending to fly a jet airplane, and Autumn was running through the room shouting. Alex slept soundly through it all.

We are very thankful that there were no complications, and both Cara and Alex are doing well. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers as we adjust to life with Alex! —Daniel Greenfield
