BABY'S BUTTERFIELD'S HERE AT LAST

Deedra was admitted to the hospital at 6AM today. We all kept posted on her progress via the MSN messenger. I had to go to Boise at 11:10 this morning for my dentist appointment. When I left she was dilated to 6. I thought for sure I'd miss it (because of Jill's extreme rush after 5) When I got out of the dentist's office, I called Curtis and he said the Dr. was going to come in and break her water in a few minutes . At that point I thought I would miss it for sure. I hurried back to Nampa and just as I was getting off at Garrity, I called Curtis again and he said the Dr. said she was progressing nicely so he cut back the pit and left her on her own. (no breaking the water just yet) I told Curtis I would go back to the office and for him to let me know when she was close. Ya just can't predict these things and when he called (1/2 hour later) and said she was at 8.5, I decided to head out. I stopped at "Jack in the Box " to get chicken sandwiches for Curtis and his mom and sisters and while at the pickup window I told the lady waiting on me that we were having a baby and I was taking sandwiches to the father. She asked me if I knew what it was and I proudly said "a boy and his name is "JACK" she laughed and said "wait a minute" and she came back with a soft miniature basketball for Jack. Pretty cool!
He didn't come as quickly as we thought. I left the office at 2:10 and he finally arrived at 5:02 but he is perfect. He's winking at Gramma!
Mom finally gets to love her new little one.

We passed him around and he was loved by all.
Does Curtis look proud or what?

Deedra never made a peep! Love those epidurals!
Further more she looks better than me! She had a baby and I got a crown!

A four generation shot! And at last the video you all have been waiting for! Enter
