Nate looking for Jelly Fish

It is my pleasure to announce the birth of our second son, Sylvan James Hatch. (We just call him “Van”)

Van was born Friday, September 8th at 3:10 PM, weighing 6 lbs, 11 oz at 19 ¼ inches. He and his Mommy are at home and doing very well. Nate enjoys showing his new baby brother all his trucks and cars. Pinto of course loves his new pack member.

The last few days have been an amazing series of sleepless nights filled with dirty diapers and emotional highs that I suppose can best be appreciated as the right of passage for parenting.

On that note, please join Catherine and me in welcoming our son Nathaniel Delett Hatch to the world!

Nate was born on February 29, 2004 at 9 AM; he weighs 8 pounds 5 ounces and is 22.25 inches long. Yes, indeed, he’s a leap year baby!

Mother and son are doing well. Pinto is very happy with his new pack member.
