What a precious blessing from God, he is simply beautiful! I must comment on his middle name - I think it is absolutely charming, it suits him quite well as he looks like a very medieval baby! May God richly bless you all! Emily Rose @ www.SimplyVintagegirl.com

We are so excited for you guys. What a precious courtship, engagement, marriage and now baby. God has truly blessed. His name is so strong and fitting. May God continue to richly bless your little family as you seek Him. Remember "children are an heritage from the Lord and the fruit of the womb is His reward." Never forget this baby is God's gift. Wish we were there to share in all the excitement. Can't wait to see more photos in the future (after you get some rest!).

Congratulations & best wishes !..Just recently, I visited through your blog's latest photos. (have passed your blog address to Tom, too, who will also much enjoy viewing through)- - Jordan's captions & input were also delightful & enlightening, along with the beautiful photos. . . All made me feel like I was right there on the scene, witnessing the miraculous event. The music was so lovely, too. . Have also learned the more meaningful, background for the noble name of "William"...Then, I also read the history of the "Locksley" middle name, which helps me understand how noble & befitting is that part of William's name, too.
What a sweet, darling little boy...Right away I saw Jordan's facial features on him, then recognized some of Melissa\'s, too... So precious, and so glad that Mom & baby made it through okay, and with such a supportive, loving, coaxing & cheering background of helpers, - -of course, with proud Papa Jordan in the lead... We all give thanks to God, the Father of lights, for all good gifts from above, amen! ~ In Christ's love, joy and blessings to all, ~ Becky & Tom

We are so happy for you, Jordan and Melissa! William Locksley is beautiful as were your words about the experience. That amazing photo of Melissa looking toward the camera right after William was born after 18 hours of labor, made me smile in recognition of fellow mother warriors, I honor you and all of your hard work. Thank you for sharing this. I must correct you though...Willy Wonka was notable in my childhood! lol Sincerest wishes for love, peace and growth, Lauren, Greg & Elise
