We have a new grand baby! Carter Brooks Hill was born at 4:15 pm today and is just gorgeous. He is skinny at 6# 15 oz with long narrow feet and long fingers. We all thought he had dark brown hair, but Libbie's Mom just called and said after he was cleaned up and returned to his Mother his hair is more golden. He has blond eyebrows and blond eyelashes. He does have the distinctive Just-Hill cleff chin and the paternal side of the family is proud that three out of three babies have our chin.
He was very alert in the nursery and Joel said his eyes watched him as they got to know each other. Joel also told us that Libbie was marvelous during the whole day and started pushing about 3:15 pm with baby by 4:15 pm. Waiting is never easy, but Joel got so busy that he didn't come out and tell us that things were happening. So Jan and I were standing in the hall trying to determine for ourselves what was happening. When we saw a nurse bring in a scale for weighing babies, we both looked at each other and started to tear up! We guessed that the baby was indeed here.
Aimee and Reagan arrived around 1:00 pm with Justin and Lauren arriving shortly thereafter. Libbie's father and step-mother arrived from San Antonio shortly after Joel announced the birth to us, timing it almost perfectly. Ray and Ethan made it in time to see Libbie and then to walk to the nursery to see Carter.
We all just finished a delicious Thai dinner which is why this note is so late tonight. I'll post pictures in the morning because Justin has my camera in his car and he is still visiting with the Vandersteegs down the street.
More later -Janet

Janet, that's such great news! I love the name. So great that everyone was there with you this afternoon. Looking forward to pictures!!!
Congratulations to the whole family! It's a GREAT name. It almost sounds presidential! Glad to hear everything went smoothly and everyone is doing well. How cute that Joel got so wrapped up that he forgot to share the news! Must be a proud Pappa.
Mike and Janet, congratulations on the most recent of God's Blessings on your family. We are pleased that everyone is well and will anxiously wait for pictures of the little guy.
That is just fantastic! We are having a run on babies in our families as of late aren't we? Not sure if you know but we just had our 2nd bot, Kellen Brodie Brooks, on the 5th of this month.
I hope that Libbie is recovering well. I look forward to seeing how beautiful that baby is.
Congratulations Janet! I'm sure Carter is a gorgeous baby like the rest of your grandchildren. We can't wait to see pictures!
Hi Aunt Jan!
I'm so happy little Carter has arrived. Colby and I love the name. We can't wait to meet him. Give everyone a hug from us.
Congratulations to parents & grandparents on a beautiful baby! -Paul & Bev
