Haddon Zerubbabel Kubecki was born Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2008, at 8:08 PM. He weighed 7 lbs 1 oz, and was 20 1/2 in long. Mom and baby are feeling overjoyed.

Psalm 127:3-5

3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the children of one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the gate. (ESV)

Well, it’s time. They admitted us yesterday (technically, they admitted Shannon). So the baby will be here soon. Watch this space (or my Facebook feed, if you’re my “friend” on there) for updates.

In the meantime, just waiting for the real show to begin. And so without further ado:
