Feliz Cumpleanos Isaac

Please join us in welcoming Isaac Edward Bell to our planet! He was born at 11:44am (local time). He weighs 6lbs 8oz, is 19 inches long, and has curly hair. We had feared that he might perhaps have Down's Syndrome, but the pediatrician assures us that he has no signs of that - nor does he appear to us to have it.

We thought, at first, that his hair was red. It depends on the light he's in. Guess we'll say it's reddish-brown.

Anyway, both mommy and baby are fine. Daddy is in a McDonald's sending this post right now and has to get back to his wife and son.... So enjoy the pics.

Thanks to all of you who prayed his way into the world and thanks to God Almighty for showing his power by bringing us a perfect, healthy baby!!!

I shoulda logged on sooner. Everyone has already expressed my wishes and prayerful thanks to God. So here's my "Cliff Notes" version:

1) Thank you God for a perfect lil' boy.

2) YES! he sure is a cutie.

3) Nice job Heidi.

4) Enjoy all the snuggles and teeny tiny kisses.

5) Almost forgot: CONGRATULATIONS!
