After a rough night of contractions, Gayle pushed out a healthy, beautiful baby boy with a hearty set of lungs.
All hands were on deck as I hovered near by to capture his first few moments of breathing in air through those lungs. He arrived at a whopping 9 pounds, 1 ounce and he measured up to a length of 20 inches long. I love his scrunched up face.

He and Nathan both have their daddy's mouth!

Pretty similar, eh? But the more you hang around them, the more different they seem! It's pretty remarkable!

And this new little guy has his daddy's eyes and nose, too! I think he just might be an exact replica.

My sister seemed to be in heaven once she had her baby in her arms at long last. They bonded beautifully.

His little profile is pretty adorable, I think.

Here's my mama, affectionately known as, "Gee-Gee", (that's a "g" as in "green" and rhymes with "key") with her new grandson. She's so happy and proud!

And here's "Poppy" with his grandson! Oh, the potential in this boy! They'll be riding tractors together very soon, I'm sure!
