I guess zipping to Evanston Hospital at 4am in the Element doesn't count

If he's anything like his Dad... it won't be long

funny thing... the Element only seats 4 as well... couldn't have come at a better time actually. We were sort of hoping for 07/07/07 for delivery... but 07/10/07 is just as good

I actually cut off the beard/facial rabble after returning from MOTD... I'll take a few pics with Payton side-by-side for comparison he's quite cute, so he probably looks like Mom

Woohoo! Congrats Francis!!! Now you need to set him up with some BRG Huggies and get that guy on the road! Given the speedy delivery, that boy is into speed!

All the best to you and your family!!

Congratulations Mom & Francis!!! Beautiful.
Is he going to be your vocal back seat driver? Give him a steering wheel so he can practice those curves!
