I have a new nephew :)

Little Knute. He is a month old now - and absolutely adorable!

Knute? Some of you might say?? That's different. Well, if you google it - there are a few famous people with that name, and it has been in a movie too. But, this Knute - He is named after our Grandpa - Pa, as he is better known to us grandkids.

Knute Gudmunson - that was our Grandpa, and as biased as it may be, he was one of the kindest people to walk the earth. Now, we have another Knute Gudmunson. Knute Franklin Gudmunson. He has a long line of heritage, just in his name. He has some pretty terrific parents, my younger brother Nick and his wife Courtney, and again, my bias shows through - but they are pretty terrific too :)

I love that Nick and Courtney chose to have his name carried on in our family.

I got to have the privilege of being in the delivery room for the birth of little Knute. I rushed to the hospital at 4:30 in the morning - I wanted to be sure I didn't miss it. The intention of me, the photographer / sister, to be in the room during the birth was to get the first pictures - fresh from the womb, or canal... but, as the delivery began, the physician requested no pictures. I could take them after he was out, the cord was cut, and he was cleared medically - after that, I could take as many pictures as my heart desired. Both Courtney and I were very disappointed, but none the less, we still got some really fantastic moments captured. And, I got to witness my nephew's birth :)

Here are some of my favorites from his birth - Is he not the most adorable little guy?? Biased again? :)
