The Best Father's Day Present

On Friday morning, June 16, 2017, my wonderful wife gave birth to our second child, Hazel Elizabeth Woltman.  She weighed 8 pounds, 1.8 ounces, and was 21 inches long.  When I wrote about John Henry's birth I said there were no words to express how happy and joyful I felt, and I still haven't figured out how to say it four years later.  Jen did an amazing job and I'm so proud of her and of our newborn daughter.  Please enjoy the pictures - there will be plenty more in the coming weeks!
