Leap Day Baby

Well it happened. FINLEY JEAN HARRIS entered our world 2/29/2008 at 12:30 in the afternoon. She weighed in at 8.4 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. Heather and Finley are fantastic. Finley is gorgeous. The evening nurse brought Finley back to us and informed us that Finley was the cutest baby in the hospital. I guess she saw this as critical information because she shared this with us at 2:00 in the morning.

Because of the leap year we knew we would be inundated with requests from the media located throughout the world. We made the conscious decision prior to birth that we were only going to answer requests from the local paper. It is a good thing that the Gresham Outlook was the first to contact us because it made it much easier to decline the Oregonian, NY Times, the Today Show on NBC, and Good Morning America on ABC. (WINK, WINK)

If you receive the Outlook be sure to check out the front page on 3/5/08. Finley, Heather, and I are located on the front page just below the fold on the right hand side. If at any time the Outlook decides to add our photo to there web site I will include a link. Until then you will have to enjoy the following photos.

Finley's Room

This past weekend the three of us painted Finley's room. The above is short clip of the finished product. If you want to know what it took to get there, keep looking because there are a few photos included as well.

The proof speaks for itself....

The proof speaks for itself - Heather has baby Finley Jean Harris in her womb. She is healthy and is growing as she should be at this stage. Here are a few of the photos that were taking this morning. Enjoy, and marvel at God's creation. Isn't it awesome that the 11 oz. baby girl will grow up to be a 8 lb newborn inbetween now and march 18th. It's rad being a daddy - and it's even greater to be a daddy of two wonderful little girls.
