Pictures from Ruth Anne's birth.


Here are some pictures from Ruth Anne's delivery. Ashley did an amazing job of laboring for over nine hours with no medication, until it was clear that she was face up and had not dialated at all in over 4 hours. It was a very intense time, with her contractions being so close for so long, I was worn out just being there.
Two proud Grandparents! This is very special for me, Ruth, was my dad, Phil's, mother's name was Ruth. She was a very special and sweet lady and I was so happy and honored to use her name. Anne (with an 'E') was always in my top 3 or 4 girls names and we eventually thought of Ruth Anne and loved it immediately. Virginia, for me, of course, has always had a place in my heart, being the honorable state that she is, with all her beauty, and the noble men and women that are her ancestors and bearers of Constitutional Liberty. Then Ashley reminded me that Virginia is her Great-Grandmother's name on her mothers side. So that was perfect!

Me and Ruth Anne with Ashley's Father Robb. A very proud new grandpa.

Going HOME!! Finally!
