Brooklyn is here!

We're excited to announce the arrival of our newest family member. Brooklyn Grace Evans came at 5:35 P.M. PDT on Sunday, May 17, 2009.

Weight: 7 lbs. 10.6 oz.
Length: 20"


We got home from church, Michelle made dinner for a lady in the ward who was in the hospital this morning, we made arrangements for Coleman, and went to the hospital. We got to the hospital, I told them my wife was having a baby and I learned that people at the hospital don't listen. First, they had to take Michelle back and check that she really was having a baby. The lady in admissions was worried Michelle was going to deliver at the desk,y but the medical staff was a little slow to believe us. In short, the anesthesiologist didn't make it, and the doctor made it only because they made Michelle wait.

Here's a couple of pictures from the first 24 hrs. of life.


Hanging out with mom.


Am I cute?

She really did come out of Mom's tummi!

I'm a good big brother.


Brooklyn and Dad.


This is more like within 48 hrs, but it's cute.
