Dillon Michael Nixon

On June 9, 2006 at 8:39 pm, Dillon Michael Nixon came into this world weighing 7 pounds and 3 ounces and measuring 20 inches long. Christina and I would like to thank everyone for all their prayers, thoughts, and phone calls. Christina and Dillon will be released from the hospital on Monday. I will post a few pictures now but more will follow once things settle down.

Here is Dillon only a few minutes old. His normal, pink color had not come to him yet at this point.

This is Dillon right before his first bath. He is a few hours old in this picture and you can see he is not quite as pale as when he was first born.

One proud dad.

Three generations of Nixons. (The fourth generation will be coming to Sonora soon, which will cause all school teachers of the past, present, and future to be overwhelmed by a collective shutter of terror and fear.)

Congratulations! Dillon is fortunate to have you two as parents. I wish you all the happiness in the world. I also wish you lots of sleep as I'm sure you will need it. =)

Always,
