Henry decided to arrive about a month early, on Sunday morning
9 March 2008 around 5:40am. Unfortunately I wasn't present to
witness the event, since I was up in Milwaukee for a funeral that
Saturday and wasn't able to return to Wichita until 10am Sunday
morning.

Heather and Henry are doing great. Henry's original due date was
3 April 2008, but he was still born at 7 pound 4 ounces and 19". He
has no "premie" devleopment problems (and was assessed at 38.5
weeks maturity from a general developmental POV).

I'm sure we'll have more later

You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

Congratulations to you and your wife on the birth of your son. Best wishes to you all!

I see your older son now has someone to practice saving throws with when your 1st print Woodie is used to hold the bugs and slimy yard things collection

Hello Mrs. Cleaver, Theodore.

Gee, Mrs. Cleaver ... That certainly is a lovely dress.
