Hank is Here!








Henry Bryan "Hank" Haley was born at 9:49am on September 3rd. He weighed 8.2 lbs and was 21 inches long. We all spent Wednesday and Thursday in the hospital waiting for Melissa to recover from her surgery. Both Mom and baby are doing fine and they are home now. Michael is very protective of his new baby brother and of his hurt mom. He would push the nurses away when they'd come in to treat Melissa. Granny Leturgez got Michael a "I'm a big brother" shirt. Hank looks a lot like Michael did when he was born, but there are slight differences. See for yourself.

Finally, a Hank Haley!! I must say that he will be my favorite Grand Nephew. Joe, I hope that between you & your dad that you will make little Hank appreciate his namesake, he was a fine man.
Love,
Aunt Aggie

Oh my gosh, I just looked at little Henry's pictures again and I just love him. He's so precious and looks a LOT like Joe - is it possible that he looks even more like Joe than Mike did? Mike is starting to look more and more like Melissa. Can't wait to see you guys - have fun this weekend.
