Thomas Wilson Parmer Phipps

Well it's official! Thomas has been registered with the Registro Demografico...meaning we will get his birth certificate in about a week. It took me 3 trips to get everything that I needed and help from our neighbors to be able to understand all the forms. In Puerto Rico you have two last names: your Father's last name first and then your mother's maiden name. So it looks like Thomas will have 4 names. This morning I was thinking about his name(s) and thought how cool is it to have 4 last names for your name...Thomas, Wilson, Parmer, Phipps.

Here is a picture of Thomas just before we left the hospital. Elmo was his gift to his big sister. She liked the gift so much that she barely even noticed Thomas.
