I'm at home now. We all came home from the hospital on Sunday night. My new son is soooo cool. His name is Judson Newell. Newell is a family name that has been passed down from my grandfather, to my dad, to me, and now to Judson. We picked Judson for a a couple of reasons. It's a form of Jude and Jordan, both named which have great significance in the Bible. Also, a guy named Judson was the first American missionary to a foreign country, Burma, back a couple hundred years ago. And mostly, because Shannon and I both thought of it on the same day, at the same time, apart from each other. I guess it seems kinda inspired. Here (Judson Newell Voss) is a picture of this beautiful baby on the hospital website.

I'm taking two weeks off from work to focus on the husband and daddy side of my life. I'm already feeling pulled to think about stuff back at work, but I'm looking forward to this time off. Hope to get to read, play with my daughter, play with my wife, change, rock, and love on my new son. I'm sure the two weeks will go by way too fast.

I apoligize for this to all of those who dislike these ads as much as I do. You can access the same page without the ad by going to voss.blogspot.com.
