Welcome Samuel Lucas Bates

Baby Sam was born on June 7th at 10:58am he weighed 7pounds and was 20″ long. We are still out on the haircolor as my wife refuses to believe she didn’t get the darker hair she requested but he has big blue eyes and looks like his older brother Daniel. Jess was in labor for about 12hours and did remarkably well. Daniel has taken well to his new duties as Big Brother and has helped us sooth baby Sam several times by giving suggie and holding his hand. My Mother-In-Law has a blog as well with more pictures and description… check it out here and enjoy the pictures below:

Heres to a bright future and much daddy play time

Just an update

I have tried to update my blog many times since my trip to Vegas. I have had several topics to discuss but never get the chance to write them down. Over the past couple of weeks I have been working almost non-stop for both work work and my side-work. I have had very little play time and in that time I decided to play with my son as soon there will be two of them to play with and I want to make sure he knows that he is very special to me. I truely believe he will be a great big brother and hope that he will always know I love him. Speaking of that my wife not only had one baby shower but two as my work hosted a sort of suprise shower for her. It was great! My department is a great one as they truely care about their co-workers. I can say that I love my job mainly because of the people I work with.

So I hope to update this site more frequently as I believe I will have a little more time soon.

Thank you for reading
