HE'S HERE!!!!!

We are so very grateful for the safe arrival of Mack Owen Slanger. He was born at 2:52 p.m (7:52 CDT) Hawaii time. He has light brown hair. He weighed 9#6oz - very close to Carrie's birthweight at 9#7oz. You can be sure there will be pictures as soon as we can get them. It was a long labor but Mom sounded so excited!!

I have been checking your blog all day to see if the little guy has arrived. I am so excited he's here and no major problems! Congrats to the new grandma. I know you must be super excited! Tell Carrie when you talk to her that I am so happy for them and to enjoy every little new experience because they grow so fast!

Hooray!!! I have been checking all throughout the day and then after being gone for the evening, just sat down and said, "I sure hope she's had that baby by now!" Tell Carrie she's a trooper....I know what it's like to deliver a 9 pound, six ounce "little" boy!!! We love his name and can't wait to see pictures! Congratulations to all of you! What a blessing!

Congratulation to Carrie and Rob and to you as new grandparents! What great news to hear your first grandson has safely arrived. We're anxious to see his sweet face. Oh, you thought there were lots of pics on your blog before-just wait! You'll delight in every new thing he does. We'll read endless blogs about him and love every minute of it. If we had known that being grandparents was so much fun, we would have had grandkids first!! :-)Love Harold and Mary
