He's Here!



Yes, that's correct! We are proud to announce the arrival of our second son. Tobin Skofield was born Wednesday, March 5th at 1:29pm. He weighed in at 7 lbs 13 oz and tapped out at 20 in long.

We just arrived home Friday and are thankful to be out of the hospital. Fortunately, this delivery was much shorter than last time and Tobin has Joshua to thank for paving the way. Joshua has enjoyed checking out all of his fingers and calling him "Toady".
Many have asked where the name comes from. Tobin is based off the name Tobias from the Old Testament. It means "Pleasing to God" in Hebrew. Skofield is a family name from Susan's paternal grandmother.
We are doing well despite lack of sleep. Joshua developed a cold/cough on Thursday night so we are having to keep him away from Tobin. Please pray for quick healing for Joshua and protection for Tobin. We are blessed to have Susan's parents in town until later this week; They are taking very good care of us.
Big Brother Joshua checks out all his fingers and toes.

Ready to head home!
