Henry's Blessing
Today Henry had his baby blessing in church (somewhat akin to a christening). We were glad to welcome some of the Thatcher family from Dallas and Oma and Opa Hahl from Arizona. Here are some pictures from the big event.
snow day
After almost a week of 70-degree temperatures and sunshine, it snowed this week and vastly everything in town was closed, cancelled, or delayed, except the medical school.
On the plus side, Henry finally got to 
wear his bear jacket and pants. He
was pretty happy about it.

STILLE NACHT
On Monday the 8th of December our son was born. We named him Henry Neil Thatcher and he weighed in at 5 lbs 7 oz, and was 19 inches long. Despite being nearly two weeks early, he is perfectly strong and healthy. He has his daddy's chin and his mamma's hair. He loves to kick his strong legs. He loves to keep both arms near his face. He loves to smile in his sleep. He loves having his head rubbed and he loves snuggling. He loves to practice his growls. He loves his Oma. And he loves foot rubs.
We are so proud to be a family of three. When we look at Henry, we realize how much we have missed him all these years that we've been apart. Although we have only been parents for a mere 10 days, we already recognize that parenthood is a daunting and ever-evolving challenge, probably more so than we are now able to recognize. But it is also the best thing we have ever done.
Buon Compleanno, figlio nostro.
