Baby Russ Has Arrived March 11, 2008

Male.

3 pounds, five ounces. He’s going to be in the hospital for a week or more until he bulks up, but he looks good.

16.5 inches.

Ornery. Russ says he was giving the nurses the “stink-eye” right away, which does not surprise me, knowing Russ.

Russ is still noncommittal about the name, so the contest (see post below) is still on, even though I think “Martin” is an obvious winner. Russ wants to talk to Janis about this. Go figure.

Oh yeah, Janis is OK too.

[Dave]: Moses Glenn. Unless they’re still arguin *L

But, all kidding aside, congratulations and God bless.

I always remember this quote from somebody (I forget who said it):
“Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man. “
13. BrewFan - March 12, 2008: I would like to point out that your handsome new baby boy was born on the exact same day as your handsome old virtual friend BrewFan! Way to go!

But don’t name him CycloneFan.
14. kevlarchick - March 12, 2008: Brew and Baby from Winterset share a birthday! That is…fulfillment of some prophecy. What prophecy I do not know.

Moses? Well then, they DID name him after the dog…and a prophet.

Happy belated birthday, Brew. *smooch*

30. sandy burger - March 12, 2008: “Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.”

And every teenager comes with the message that God is dead.
31. skinbad - March 12, 2008: I’ve got a friend with a boy named Duke. John Wayne is your hometown guy, right?
32. Pupster - March 12, 2008: Ohhh, good point Skinbad…

That opens up a whole lot of possibilities.

I’m partial to:

Thomas Dunson Winterset (Red River)

Sean Thornton Winterset (The Quiet Man)

Rockwell Torrey Winterset (In Harms Way)

39. mesablue - March 12, 2008: Heh, I loved the look I would get from my ex when people would come up to me and say “good job” after our babies were born.
40. Sobek - March 12, 2008: “Yeah, well, I guess my wife helped a little bit.”
41. Michael - March 12, 2008: I want to go on record here. Cathy was a key contributor for both of our babies. Her assistance was invaluable.
