Introducing...

our cousin (who really feels like a nephew):

Samuel Patrick Dean Sisil

born: Dec. 31, 2007 at 7:05 am

weighed: 10 pounds, 5 ounces (don't worry ladies: c-section!)

measured: 21 1/2 inches long

Tyler's aunt and uncle live in Cypress, which is only about 40 miles away so this week we were able to go down for a few days and visit the baby. Tyler's mom, Debra was visiting from Missouri to help out with the baby and it was wonderful to be able to spend a few days with her, since we hadn't seen her in about a year!
