Introducing Griffith Jack Brimhall

I decided, due the amount of pictures that I wanted to share, that rather than uploading each picture individually I'd do a slideshow. So here are some of my favorite pictures of us during our visit to the hospital. Now several of you have asked about the origin of his name. Well, two things. Many of you know that Baker is named after Heather (Baker is her maiden name). In order to continue that trend we went up the line and used her mother's maiden name, which is Griffith. It also comes from a young man that we love in Lubbock Texas. He once spun us a tale of little dwarfs that could mine diamonds in a far off country of Africa. Any man that can weave a tale like that deserves to have a namesake. Jack, comes from a man I love dearly. Heather and I thought about some of the qualities that we wanted to emulate for our little man. Some of the qualities that rose to the top were selflessness and a willingness to serve/sacrifice for other people. There is not a better example of these qualities than my dad. He is always giving of his time, his energy, and his resources to help another individual. He is a wonderful man who is constantly looking out for the needs of others. I have been the recipient of many of those sacrifices and I'm not sure I've ever thanked him sufficiently. He has instilled within me an excellent work ethic. I hope that I can teach Griffith Jack to live up to the ideals of those who have built him a powerful legacy. Enjoy the photos and know that we love you.
