Hooray!!

Little Derek Brandon was born October 14. He weighed in at 7lbs 8 0z and was just over 19 in. long. Everything went well and mother and son are doing great (see the smiles).





Rachel has been really excited to have her own baby and always wants to hold him. Owen is ready for him to come and play with his new steamroller.



Finally we get to take him home. Owen and Rachel are waiting...

and now the happy family!
