| To Lon & Anita's surprise, Reese arrived 4 weeks early. While the nursery wasn't 100% finished, it didn't matter. Reese was here and we were extremely excited to meet him. He was born on Tuesday, June 21, 2005 at 1:30 in the afternoon. It was the first day of summer, and the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. We figured that Reese wanted to make sure that he would always have the longest day of the year as his birthday so the party could go on the longest. I know many of you want to see all the pictures we have so far, so I've tried to divide them into sections for easier viewing. | ||||||||

THE Newspaper Article Everyone's Talking About For those of you who never read it, or just want to reread it, I've attached it here. This is the article that made the front page of the Metropolitan section of the Kansas City Star. Our neighbors, Kirk and Stacy Ackerson, are pictured with us. |
