At 7:55pm Sunday August 22, 2004, Owen Christopher Peterson entered the world and we just couldn't be happier!

Owen weighed 8 pounds 1 ounce and was 19 1/2" long (for those who like to know

).

Mom Ldara is recovering well and so far everyone seems to be healthy.

We're glad the day finally came. Now I must take care of our animals and head back to the hospital. See you soon everyone!
