He's Here!

On March 17, 2011 Patrick Timothy O'Leary Marshall was born . . . somewhere in Ireland or Boston. But in Sandy, Utah at 2:03 in the afternoon we welcomed Barrett Cannon Marshall into the world. I cannot lie. He is an angel. He weighed in at 7 lbs. 5 ounces and was 20 inches long. We can't believe how little he is. Just a lean machine. It won't last long. I know how to make the rolls and dimples, but for a few days he is tiny.

Baby Boy Barrett . . . the first few minutes

Our sweet Barrett is here.  From the very start this guy has been an absolute sweet pea. We have been trying to post some video of his first moments, but we give up! Somehow it is beyond our capability to get it into the right format. It's too hard, and we're not trying anymore. And this evening I had an epiphany . . . we can just post photos! So, no more excuses or blabbing. Here he is.

Here are the big kids waiting for baby brother to arrive. They were so excited and amazed by the whole thing.
