Yesterday my sister surprised our family by having her baby almost three weeks early! Robert William is five pounds, five ounces. He's just a little guy with blue eyes and blonde hair.
It feels great to be an uncle. I already got in trouble within the first hour by trying to feed Robert some Cheez-its. He looked hungry:)
It was great to have Leah in town for the delivery. She was planning to drive back to Pittsburgh yesterday. When Betsy went into labor in the morning she was able to stick around a few extra hours to experience the birth of our first nephew. Since yesterday also marked 100 days until our wedding, it was a special day all the way around:)
Congratulations to the whole family!

William Bradly...where are the pictures with grandma? I am so exicted for Besty and hubby!!! When Terrilynn and Mark were going to have there little boy a little over a year a go I suggested they name there baby William (after Mark's dad) and Robert (after Terrilynn's dad my husband) and I told them we would call him Billy Bob...well Benjamin Andrew was the named suttled on...gee I wonder why. LOL
Betsy has a Robert William. I have to say I like the name Robert and William is great too. We named Bubba Robert Troy and he got stuck with Bubba. When you figure that one out call me!!! TEEE, HEEE. Bubba was more than twice the size of baby Robert!! Have lots of fun with the little guy and remember "Uncle" Brad what ever you do with Robert will be remembered by the parents when you and Leah have your children!!!
Tell your mom and dad I said Hi and I love them. Do they have email? Give your mom my email address and tell her to write. I would love to hear from her. Betsy could have waited for today and had Robert, then he would have been born on my birthday.
Have a great weekend. Love, Cheryl Dunn
