Our newest addition

Introducing....

Henry John Morgan Woolcott

Born at 12:07 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 6, 2010 (yes, it was Labor Day).
8 lbs 3 oz, 20 inches long

He was none too happy about his rather rude and cold introduction to the world...

But soon found that life wasn't all that hard.

John was pleased to have yet another football season-born son.

Tom investigated to make sure he had all his fingers and toes and no teeth.

He passed inspection.

Mary Alice also passed him off with the auntie-prompted kisses.



And after several days of deliberation, we finally picked out his name.
Welcome home, little Henry.

How to divorce your parents

(Note how these conversations always seem to take place at bedtime...)

Mom: It's time for bed. Put away the train and get your pajamas on.

Tom: No, I'll NEVER go to the bed.

Mom: Never?

Tom: Mom, if you make me go to bed, then I will not be your son anymore.

Mom (trying really hard not to laugh) : Not be my son? I'm afraid you're stuck, little man. There is no way you can't be my son.

Tom: Yeah-huh.

Mom: How exactly will you do that?

Tom: I will take my toys and move somewhere else.

Mom: Where?

Tom: I don't know. I haven't thought of that yet.
