Friends, relatives, and loved ones,

Hello everyone and my apologies for the delay in sending this, but I would proudly like to announce the blessed arrival of my beautiful son, William Clay VanHooser!

William was born on Thursday, July 5th at 1:25 pm. He starts life as a lightweight at 5 lbs 13 ounces and 18 ¼ inches long. He has neither red nor black hair, but all others can’t be ruled out. Right now, it is either a strawberry blonde or a sandy blonde.

We would have informed everyone sooner, but William spent his first night in the NICU. His breathing was a bit rushed, but this has been overcome and he finally came to Mom and Dad’s room at 9 pm last (Friday) night.

Momma Carole is doing well, recovering from her first C-section. She is in high spirits, and thrilled with our new edition. Sister Grace and Brother Trey are very excited, and we expect to be together as a family for the first time this evening. From there, we expect to be home some time on Sunday.

The site is not yet up, but by tomorrow, we expect that you will be able to see little William at www.thatsmybaby.net. Go to the Baby Websites tab, and enter 011-B3681 to see Master William.

Finally, thanks for everyone for your prayers and well wishes. We hope to see ya’ll very soon,
