Bienvenue to Ethan Daniels...

Yes - It is true. A day after Summer was complaining on this very blog that she was still pregnant, our little guy decided to make nice and "pop out" as Noah says. So yesterday, June 26, our third little boy was born at 10:14. He weighed in at 7 lbs. and 4.8 oz, and is 20" long. He is a very calm, peaceful, and quite baby - not crying very much at all. It has taken Summer until this morning to decide on a name, and after much debate and analysis of pros and cons (which included the whiteboard in Summer's hospital room, and a last minute push by me to persuade Summer on the name Sawyer) we have chosen to call him Ethan Daniels. So here are a few pictures from yesterday.



The boys are quite excited to be a big brother, especially Noah.

It only took Summer 4-5 minutes of actual labor before Ethan "popped out"

Yah! Looks like you won't have to go to church this Sunday after all and hear..."you still haven't had that baby yet!" You look great! We can't wait to see the newest little guy when you are home & up to visitors.
