    Welcome BabyA!

    Welcome into the world my son. My beautiful son! E.lijah A.ndrew A**** was born June 21st….just missed Father’s Day by 44min. Even though he was 3 weeks early he weighed 7lbs 12.6oz and was 20.1″ long.  He would have been a monster had he “cooked” another 3 weeks or more. 🙂 He is more than I ever imagined. He changed my outlook on everything!
