Joa

just a short week ago, we welcomed our baby boy, Joa, into the world. he was born at home, in our bed, where we've spent most of these last days napping, snuggling, and becoming a family.

since his arrival, Joa has shown us so many new faces. he learned how to communicate that he's hungry and i learned to understand his language. he bacame a US citizen and applied for his very first passport (a citizen of the world already!). he gazes at us with his big blue eyes, telling us he knows us. he made our lives complete.

welcome to this big, beautiful world, my son. there are so many things we can't wait to show you and so many people who can't wait to love you!
