Welcome Baby Whitt!

Today was a "TOAD-ally" awesome day for the Harris family, and I want to share a few pictures with you!  Whitton Robert Harris was born at 3:28 p.m..  He weighs 7 pounds, 15 ounces, and he is 20 inches long.  Everybody is doing great!  Whitt had many visitors tonight, but he told me that he can't wait until he gets a chance to meet his ACS family!
