At 10:43 pm Joshua Michael Roling came screaming into the world. Weighing in at a hefty 8 pounds 10 ounces and 21.5 inches long he was quite the little bundle. Mother, Father and Baby are all doing fine. He is a healthy young man and he seemed very content in his Mother’s arms.
When I looked in Ben’s eyes I saw wonderment and so much emotion. It is that look that only a Father can have when he is looking at his child. I was so incredibly happy for these two remarkable young parents. Angie was so happy and amazed as she gazed into her Son’s eyes and then into Ben’s. What a beautiful sight.
Grandma had to get a hold in before we left. Ben’s Mother and Brother David were also there so it was a very busy place. The nurse shooed us out so the family could have some time together and see if the lad was hungry enough to learn how to eat.
Mark shared a special moment with his Sister. I was proud of him for coming over and being with her at the time of the birth of his new Nephew. I didn’t get a chance to hold him tonight but I will soon The proud parents have announced his name this morning. They had some time to get acquainted with him and then chose his name. I like Joshua (of course Grandpa will call him Josh.) God Bless you Ben, Angie, and Josh Roling.


Congratulations Ben, Angie, Grandma Upde and Grandpa Upde!
