MORE BIG NEWS!!!

Tess won sheepdog regionals!!! Just kidding. Our little munchkin was born today at 10:38 am. He is 7 lbs 8 ounces and 19 inches tall. Everything went relatively well. Tess's water broke at 1:30am, we got to the hospital around 2:15 am, she started having contractions around 4 am, got an epidural, and pushed from 7:15am til 10:38 am. We don't have an official name yet. Unfortunately our prayers that his name would be tattoed on his arm went unanswered. We're pretty sure we're going to name him Graham...now we're mostly just working on a middle name. Here are a few pics...

HIP HIP HOORAY!!! We are so excited for you guys. I can't believe you had to push that long!!! Can't wait until we can give him a big cuddle.

Wow! I am so happy for you guys to be parents to your new little babe. Dave says Cracker would be a perfect middle name. What do you think? I know you probably already considered that one. Just totally kidding! Graham is adorable. We love you guys! Congrats on surviving a 3 hour push! I know that is so so so hard to do.
love,

He is one good looking little new born. Congratulations! You guys are going to be great parents. If you were to ask me, the only thing that goes with Graham better than "Kilo" or "Cracker" is Jordan! Just throwin' that out there again...
Apparently Callie had a premonition earlier today that you would name him Graham. We will let you know if any other revelations surface.

And the legacy continues! I feel better about the world now knowing there will always be someone to carry on the name and traditions of fire setting, spray painting, dinosaur wiffle ball and much much more! Congratulations. He is beautiful!
