This morning my wife Kim gave birth to a 9 lb., 5 oz. boy. He is 21 1/2 inches long and at the first gulp of air took the opportunity to scream at the top of his lungs – it was an impressive and sustained show. We aren’t quite sure about the name just yet but don’t figure that will last too long. We are blessed beyond words. Here is a photo taken just after birth (and screaming). We think his eyes are wise.
