I am writing this post from Japan where we arrived on Wednesday (March 1st). We received word on Saturday afternoon (Livonia time) that our daughter Laura had gone into labor. We felt confident that we would know if we had a grandson or granddaughter before we left on Tuesday morning for Japan. But Tuesday morning when we got up at 5:30 AM to leave the house at 7:30 we still did not know. Laura was in labor for 64 hours and so at about 5:30 AM we received a call saying that Alexander John Campbell had been born about 40 minutes earlier. We were thrilled and things were a bit hectic getting ready to go since we had to make several phone calls to let family and friends know. We arrived Wednesday evening in Japan and went directly to the hospital and held Alex for the first time. God is good! We are now getting over jet lag and Laura and Alex are coming home from the clinic today (Saturday). Rejoice with us and this new blessing God has brought into our lives. We will be returning to the States March. 16th.

Thanks for these pictures...we have been looking forward to meeting Alex. He is so sweet. Do I see a lot of Laura in him??? It is hard to tell just from a couple of pics. Laura you look great after 64 hours of labour. What a woman! Love you all - Nicole & Jason
