I received a phone call about four this morning. Merrit was in the hospital, in active labor. About mid morning Noble arrived. 6 pounds 2 oz. 17 1/2 inches long and a head full of either blond or red hair.

I woke Carol near morning and she and I drove to Roscoe and picked up Memama. We made the drive to San Angelo. About the time we left Roscoe, Noble arrived in San Angelo.

He is a cutie!

He is also a one and done. Due to Merrit's type 1 diabetes, the doctor's discouraged another pregnancy. About one she went back in for a tubal ligation.

While they did this procedure Carol, Memama, Addison, Erica and myself went to eat. We returned in time to get what was left in the labor and delivery room and move up to their private room.

About 4 we left headed for Abilene, and Memama rode to Roscoe with Erica.

Hospitals wear me out, but today it is a good tired.

Very thankful the baby is here and Mom and her are doing well.
