Baby Nathan Has Come



Proud father with his son Nathan Matthew Merrell. He was born at 5:32 pm on November 24th, 2008. He weighed 6 lbs 5 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long.





Proud parents after an 11 hour labor, not bad for a first baby.













Mom and Dad visiting their 9th grandchild.





Todd and John, two of Matt's co-workers, stopped by to see the little guy. Todd brought him his first basketball.








Mom and Nathan by his wagon of flowers from Grammy and Papa.









Dad and Nathan by his balloon from Nanna and Grandpa.


















Kayla, Will, and Mom visiting Nathan
when he was one day old.










Nathan's first outift. He loved Mom and Dad dressing him. He was vegged out the entire time.














Nathan's ride home, which he was an angel.
