Announcing the arrival of Miles Owen Russell

As most of you already know, Miles Owen Russell arrived on June 29th at 12:24 in the afternoon. A little bit earlier than his due date of July 10. He was 6 lbs 14.7 oz and 18" long. Here are a few pictures from our stay at the hospital. My awesome friend Heather was a wonderful assistant labor coach (adding to Ryan's already wonderful coaching) and she was generous enough to take some beautiful pictures at the birth for us. I will post some of those when I get the files, but here are a few pics for now. You can also check out her website at www.oliviercompany.com the pictures are currently posted there. Go to client proofing and the password is "Miles". She did an amazing job.

Here is the proud daddy.


And Noni (Grandma Shoemaker). I can't tell if she is about to cry or not in this picture.
