Born at home into Daddy's hands. Both girls were in attendance and do not seem to be emotionally hindered or psycologically maimed. ;) And we will never have to answer "Where do babies come from?" (But it's only matter of time until they wonder how they got in there!)

If anyone happens to be travelling through our area you are welcome to stop and ogle the new one. The charge for admittance will be steep, however. You may be asked to hold him while I get something accomplished -- like supper, or a diaper change on an older boy. Or eating a bit of food.

And for those that enjoy the details: Noble was 15 days late, the birth was 1.5 hrs [but I was in labor for 4 weeks :) ], and we didn't settle on a name until Saturday morning. That makes him our latest and largest, but not the shortest labor or longest without a name. Oh, and he also has the most hair.
