He arrived at 11:00am on September 11, 2006. He weighted in at 9 pounds 6 ounces and measures 21 inches long. Everyone is doing well. Patrick has been eating well and had visits from his Grandma and Grandpap, and daddies friend Laurene.
I have included some pictures below. The rest are available here.

Patrick is the bestthing since ice cream. He is also my favorite great-grandson. He is rowing so nicely. We are looking forward to New Year.
Lots of hugs and kisses to Patrick
Kaylea and Branden, thank you so much for the little bundle.
all our luv to the Simbeck trio.
