BABY DRAKE PICTURES

Brittney was in the hospital at noon and Drake was born at 4:14 p.m. He was 7lbs 10 ounces and was 19 and1/2 inches long.
Brittney found out she was going to need a emergency C-section because the baby was in stress and the doctors feared she was abrupting. The doctors were in such a rush that Ben was not able to go.
After a blessing, prayer and a quick surgery we welcomed Drake to the world.

The room was filled with flowers. The one in the short vase has a special significance. It was Ben's when he was born. His mother brought it for the baby.
Meme and Pepe were able to come and see right before they flew to Taiwan for their mission.
Nothing stronger than a fathers love for his son.

Uncle Ed invited us to Thanksgiving in November. It is quite a drive but the company is worth it.
We had lunch with my Uncle Ed. What a fun guy he is. This is his impersonation of a deer.
