I want to announce that Mason Lawrence Caswell was born on Monday evening at 9:23pm after my wife courageously worked through 13 and a half hours of labor. I was very proud of her on Monday. Mason was born weighing in a 10 pounds and 1 ounce, not bad for a first child. He was also 20 and a half inches long. His chest measured in at over 14 inches which leads me to believe he is going to be a powerhouse. Mason has a think head of dark hair, blue eyes like his parents, and some bear claw mitts for hands. So far he is a pretty chilled out baby. We are very proud of the dude think he is pretty cute. I know that we all think new borns can sort of look like lizards but he came out looking pretty good.
Mason and Kristen are going to probably be released tomorrow. He has had low blood sugar due to his large weight so he has been on a IV for most of the time. It was hard to see to little man all hooked up, but it has given us so breathing room on breast feeding. As of this morning they are weaning him off the IV due to his continued strong blood sugar readings since yesterday afternoon.

Congrats Big Pappa. Warmest of wishes from the frozen tundra.
I must say that the lack of red hair is slightly disappointing. Don't they have some new born dye or something? I guess I'll just have to get used to a non-red Caswell.
Send Kristen my best.
Later brother.
He is beautiful and Kristen looks great! Isn't birth truly a miracle! God bless your new family!
