Andrew Everett Russell

Andrew Everett Russell

Missy and I are proud to announce the arrival of Andrew Everett Russell. On Thursday evening, September 20, at 8:33 PM EDT, Andrew made his way into the world weighing in at 7 lbs, 4.4 oz and sizing up at 20.5 inches in length.

Andrew is named for my middle name and for the middle name of my grandpa, George Everett Walters who passed into God’s presence in 2001. Grandpa was a great man who served God and loved his wife and family. He left a legacy of faith, hard work and creativity. I am a musician today because of my grandfather’s influence. And I am so thankful for his great heritage. Missy and I pray that Andrew will learn from the spiritual life of his great-grandparents, grandparents and from us.

“Drew” is a sweet little bundle of pure joy and our hearts belong to him. We have already received so many wonderful greetings and congratulations and we appreciate the warmth and love of our friends and family.

For more photographs of this special occasion, visit Andrew’s collection on Flickr.

    Congratulations!! He is just beautiful! Welcome to parenthood. :) Seeing those precious pics made me want another one. Now we’ll just have to talk Wes into #3!

    God bless your sweet family! And tell Missy to just say “yes” when people offer to do anything, even if she if she thinks she has the energy for that bit of laundry. :) Every little bit helps.

@DennyHodges I wish we still had phrases such as, "Hold on a second, let me get out my stylus."

@danatchison Awesome. I once wasted a few hours tweaking with GeekTool. Fun. May still have some of my scrips around if you are interested.
