Karsten Herrick Smith

We welcomed Karsten to our family at 1:22 PM on Thursday, May 14, 2009. He arrived after much travail on Whitni's part, but both Whitni and Karsten are doing great and getting ready to come home.

Here are some pictures to show off our little guy. He has red hair - that's right! He takes after his mom more than any of our other 3 did as newborns.
