Update 2012 -- Parker Wilson Lowe May 2012

Well here we are in the month of May and the big day has arrived.  Mr. Parker Wilson Lowe joined the family on May 14, 2012, at 8:46pm.  Parker weighed in at 8 lbs 8 oz and a striking 22 inches in length.  He better be tall since his Dad is 6' 3'' and his mother is 6' 0".  Now let's get on with welcoming Parker to the Ozark Dream Blog.

Parker was just a few minutes old when Grandma Reubin was able to get this picture.  Ann had a long day trying to get this little fella into the world.  She checked into the hospital around 6:00am and spent most of the day trying to convince Parker he needed to make an appearance.  As luck would have it, her Dr was around all day, but left the hospital around 8:00pm for dinner.  Well, Parker said that it would be a good time to arrive so they had to get the Dr. back quickly.  The Dr. made it just in time to catch Parker as he made his grand arrival.

This is a picture of the proud Grandparents holding little Parker.  This is number 5 for the Reubin's and number 1 for the Lowe's.  We were the old pros in the ordeal.

It's now 2 days later and the happy family are ready to leave the hospital and head for home.  Ann and Parker were doing well and Jared was excited to not have to sleep in a chair at the hospital.

It sure is nice having a big brother with a big jet.  Brent picked up a charter to Branson, Mo

and was flying back to Dallas empty so he invited his sister (Laura) and her two kids, Clara and William and his Grandparents to fly to see Parker Wilson Lowe.  A little over an hour is better than 10 hours in the car.

Clara could not wait to get to hold and rock little Parker.  She is in the glider in Parker's room in College Station.

William was very patient to wait for his turn to hold Parker.  He was just as interested in him as Clara.

Well all good things must end and Great Grandmother and Clara are picking their seats for the ride home in Brent's jet.

It's "Wheels Up" and a short 1 hour ride back home for Laura, Clara, William, and the GrandParents. Thanks Brent for a great flight and the opportunity to see Parker Lowe so soon.
