BABY BRIAN ARRIVES

Well, the long awaited birth of "baby Brian" has finally reached fruition! He was born this morning at about 9:00 a.m., weighed in at 7lbs. 15oz., and has blond hair and blue eyes.....he has HANNER GENES!!!! Scary.  Mama Danielle, Daddy Ozzie, and sister Sophie are extremely excited and very smitten with their little bundle. Grandpa maintains he already follows his (Grandpa's) hand with his (Brian's) eyes. He will probably be at Bass Pro purchasing him a fishing pole by the weekend!!! We are all already competing to be the "baby hog". Actually, we are all just delighted that Danielle has completed the pregnancy and that all went well. God's blessings continue to astound us.

Sophie had to have some "special" bedtime with her Mama, as you can see in the picture.  My pictures of Brian were taken with my phone so aren't the best in the world, but tomorrow we are going to do better. 

Thanks to all of you who have been thinking of Danielle and Ozzie and saying prayers for them; it has truely been a joy and comfort to us.  Our little Sophie is whining a bit for Grandma to read her Jake at the Ballet, so I will say goodnight and go do that.
