Presenting Michael Rory van Brackel

Our son Michael Rory was born this evening at 5:03 PM. He's 21.5 inches long, 8 lbs. 15 oz. and absolutely beautiful. But I'm biased of course so I'll let pictures speak louder than text.















Michael was Heather's father's name, and is her brother's name.  Rory is my (Jason) father's name.
Michael is of Hebrew origin and means "Who is like God?".  Rory is of Irish origin and means "Red King".
