Welcome Caleb Matthew Becker

It happened on a dark a stormy morning in Austin.  The thunder and lightning woke both Rachael and I, although Rachael might have been woken up by more pressing issues...regular contractions.  It was June 9th at 3am and Rachael was starting to go into labor.  So we headed to the hospital to have a little baby, and that is what occurred.  At 4:40 pm, we welcomed Caleb Matthew Becker to the world.  He weighed in at 6 lbs 9 oz with a length of 19 and 3/4 inches.  The nurses thought he was such a handsome little guy.  I must agree.  Rachael did such a wonderful job and pushed with all her might in great anticipation to see the guy who has been kicking her from inside.  We were able to see the amazing miracle of birth and the precious child that the Lord God "fearfully and wonderfully made"....Now comes the hard part....
