Mo Judah

Send up Judah!

We had our baby! July 22nd at 7 in the morning Erin gave birth to Judah Brennan Batstone, after about 12 hours of labor. No C-section! He was 7 lbs 4 oz, and 20 in. long. He started eating right away and slept soon afterward. He's been doing a combination of the two ever since. He is a genius. Just like his father. He is also extremely good looking like his father. Ella is excited, "I'm being a big sister, RIGHT NOW!" she said, when we walked in the door.


Judah means praise or thanksgiving, and we are very thankful for this baby.

Brennan means "smelly hair" and has some other better meanings, and it is my Grandfather's name which we really liked.


Okay, I'll shut up. Here are some pics. First Pic of Judah, ever.

We think his eyes are lighter than Ella's.


At the hospital. We are taking votes for nicknames. We like Judah by itself, but we are also batting around: Baby J, Jude, JB, Jew, or just duh. What do you think?

"Our boys all grows up"

Nathan Olson (Erin's brother) graduated from Warren High in Downey this year. Grandma Eleanor, Nathan, Kimberly and Natalie came to town. I got to see my 1st niece for the 1st time.
