Meet Chloe!

Here is Chloe in one of the happier minutes of her first hour or so. She came out ready for action, crying, flailing about, and pooping. She measured 21" and weight 7 lb, 14 oz, but we figure she could easily have lost the 4 oz. she needed to match Julia by failing to wait until after the official weigh-in to poop.

Dad appreciates the numerical convenience of having a daughter born on 12-14-07 who weighs 7 pounds and 14 ounces and is 21 inches long. Having multiples of seven only in the stats was plenty, Dad being a football fan as well, but then matching those up to the date with only the transposition of the month and the length was cool.

Congratulations, and what a cutie! I am glad mother and child are doing well.
It is truly amazing that God has blessed a couple of chuckle-heads like us with such wonderful families.

(You do kinda come off like Rain Man with the number thing, though)

Hey mbret man--you should know you're not the man to draw the line on what defines Rain Man behavior. Back in the day when speed dial and contact lists were non-existent, you still could not remember more than three phone numbers, as I recall.

So what are your kids' birthdays? :-)

Canden, thank you and amen. You wouldn't happen to know any princes, would you? ;-)
