Congrats to David and Deanna on the arrival of the newest member of our family. On June 29th at about 3:45 am Deanna gave birth to a healthy, beautiful 7lb 13oz baby boy, mom and baby are doing fine. At about 1:00 am we got a call from David informing us that they where on their way to San Antonio Regional Hospital, we arrived about an hour later and found Deanna pacing outside since she didn’t think Alec was yet ready to come out. After about an hour she decided to go in and the baby was born about 45 minutes later, That is waiting until the last minute, an that also is her mothers style. Anyway congrats to parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts.
