Happy Birthday Oscar!

Just an update to let everyone know the news.  Baby Oscar joined our family this morning at 9:30am.  He was 8lb 13oz.  Both he and Jenny are happy and healthy, and trying to get some rest.  Arlo and Otis are really excited about their new baby (like jumping up and down excited for several hours tonight) and like nothing other than to try to hug, hold, and kiss their little bro.  It was an early morning wake up that got Jenny thinking it may happen today, and by 6:30 she knew it was probably going to happen...but still hesitated when I asked if I should call to take the day off.  By 7 she was insisting that I get someone else (our friend Helen) to take the boys to school, and by 8:30 our midwife was there, in our bedroom, and Jenny was asking if she could start pushing.  It was a whirlwind, to say the least, ending with me catching Oscar as he popped out just before 9:30am.  

Arlo was excited to hear about Oscar when I picked him up from school(he was on edge today I hear from a few sources, and teary by the end of day) and Otis ran to the fence when we got there to pick him up.  Arlo insisted we get cake, because it was a birthday, so a trip to the Cupcake Lounge, flowers for Mama, and picking up a pizza pretty much made this the best night ever for the boys, and everyone is getting some well earned rest right now.
