Avoiding July entirely, Benjamin Haruki Schneider arrived into the loving arms of Mike and Suzette Schneider at 10:33 A.M. on Tuesday, August 1. The little boy weighed in at 7 lbs, 7 oz and was 20.5 inches long. According to the initial report from Mike, Suzette was in labor for about 18 hours but only had to push for about 30 minutes. Haruki, by the way, is a Japanese name that means “shining brightly.”
Happy new father Mike has already put modern technology to work with a website to house the many digital pictures he has been taking. To see Benjamin’s baby pictures, go to www.volleyweb.com/album.
