Most Parents....

Most parents think their kid is just the most handsome/beautiful creature on this planet. Well, our kid really is the most handsome creature on the planet, so pfft!! There. ;-)

So for all of those who were not on the massive email/text message list this week (not that I actually think there are any people not on that list), Erin gave birth to our son on Monday. Her water broke at 12:30 am and we got to the Hospital around 2 am. So, once she was admitted into the exam room, they performed a simple test to confirm that her water had in fact broken and then we were moved into the delivery room. Erin was such a trooper. She held out through all of the contractions right up to 4 cm dilation. At that point the pain coupled with being awake for nearly 36 hours, she decided to have the epidural (smart choice in my opinion). A couple of hours after that the pushing began, and at 12:54 pm Leonard Graham Russell was born. And so, without further ado, here he is - the latest addition to our family (and a handsome one at that if I do say so myself) Leonard!!! Come on down!!!
