Introducing Aiden Cooper McConnell

Aiden Cooper McConnell

Well he finally arrived on Saturday!!!!!
He surprised us early Saturday morning when he decided to come a day before Mindy was going be induced.
Here are the stats

Born Saturday, July 14, 2007 at 6:41 p.m.
7lbs 8 oz. 20 inches long.

Many people drove near and far to share the moment with us even after short notice of the pending delivery. Zac's parents made a 12 hour trip from South Carolina and made the birth within 10 minutes. The Chucker (Zac's dad) pulled off another long haul to get Nana Mac (Zac's mom) here in time for their latest grandchild.

Mindy's family set up shop at the hospital during the day awaiting the news starting at 7:00 a.m. Randall El and Cor Dog (Mindy's mom and dad) brought a steaming hot cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee for Zac as well as his wallet that he forgot at the house. We'll cut him some slack, it was 2:00 am. Anyways, Mindy was tormented by the smell of fresh DD's, we thought the nursing staff would frown on a woman in active labor sucking down a cup of joe and a bear claw.

We want to thank everyone for everything they have done to make this moment in our life so special.

We are extremely happy and can't express the love we have for him already. He has already developed his own little personality. Here are some pictures of the last couple days that we thought we would share with everyone! Double click on the image below for the album. There will be more to see in the near future so please stay tuned.

Baby Cradle

Well after four years of having it in my possession, I have finally put the protective finish on this beautiful cradle that was handmade by my grandfather and dad. We are so appreciative of their hard work and effort that went into this piece of furniture. We can't wait to rock our son to sleep in it!

FYI, all of the additions to the McConnell (Us), Bredemeier (Jen and Blake)and Tolin (Caryn and Rick) Tribes have had or have one to enjoy.
