The Houck Boys are Here!

April 8, 2003


Samuel Charles Houck (?) -- actually, Janet and Russell haven't decided if he or his brother will be named Samuel.  He's five pounds one ounce



Here's the other contender for the name Samuel.  As the scale shows, he was born three pounds twelve ounces.  Since he's a bit smaller and hasn't been officially named -- we unofficially named him Mini-Me, but we suspect this will be changed later

The proud father -- he looks so relaxed!  He's joined by the "big" brother



His little brother



Russell spreading the news to family and friends.  The others in the waiting room thought he was one of the doctors



One of the boys (the "big" brother)` was feeding within ninety minutes.  He fed well and was obviously hungry -- he quickly took half an ounce



Big bro' getting burped after his feeding.  We weren't able to go into the NICU, so the photos are taken through a window with venetian blinds (hence the fuzzy image)
