Santa came a little early...

What a week it has been! He's here...

Meet Rafael Emilio...8lbs. 4oz. of love, hopes and dreams.

This is Yeni's first look...I get all choked up looking at the love of a Mom for her child... Baby your beautiful...and I am a very lucky man...

He'd go from moments of tranquility...

to moments of sheer "hey I'm here and it's cold...can I get a blanket!"

He is literally minutes old...will this be the shooting hand of another great photographer?

I am told he look's a lot like me...I think he's a lot cuter.

I wore this same exact shirt when our other son Ricardo was born! My wife fought me on this one...I told her...Tradition! (After we saw the movie "Fiddler on the Roof"...I use that word a lot)
After 5 days with this guy...we realize that we have a sweet soul...gentle...

Mami finally gets to hold what's been pushing and kicking her insides all over the place.

A little kiss...babies smell so good!

This is a great moment between us and knowing that we have another son to love.

Tia Tiffany...was the first to see the latest addition to the Llera clan.

Tia's Tiff, Melissa and Christie...either he made a face or passed some gas.

Grandma Glenda...she loves babies!

Finally Ricardo meets and gets to hold his little brother...this moment was awesome...totally out of the blue he say to Rafael: "Rafael...I love you..." All those Mom's, Tia's and Granny needing a little tissue.

"Papa...this is Rafael, my baby brother?"

He's been great and is thrilled to be a big brother...

Who needs gifts when you have life, family and love...Happy Holidays!
