Harv Nelson reports the birth of a new grandson. Daughter Sarah delivered Benjamin Ezekiel Lawrence on January 29, 2008 in Salt Lake City, UT. The baby weighed 8 lbs. 5 oz. and was 19 inches in length. Harv reports it was somewhat stressful for a while. Colleen was with Sarah at her home in Park City. There was a storm and the freeway was closed. Right after the freeway was opened Sarah went into labor. On the way from Park City to Salt Lake City (where the baby was scheduled to be delivered) the cell phone quit working and a storm watch was called. They made it in time and all was well. Whew!
