This little stinker is the first to join the Holmes Clan.
Born in Seattle, WA on September 10, 1979, Pam describes the experience as very chaotic. She was in labor for 12 hours and her doctor was stuck on the bridge so he couldn't make it for the delivery.
Once Phil finally made his arrival at around 11am, Pam remembers thinking, "Oh yeah! That's what I've been doing this for!" She describes him as a very cute little baby boy and nurses would come in and say the general "He's so cute" but then stop and look again and say "He really is cute!"
Due to the high volume of children born that day, there was no room in the hospital nursery so Phil had to be put in a cardboard box in the hallway. Nevertheless, he did end up going home with the correct parents and they've loved him ever since.

Phil is now 28 years old living in Utah, within driving distance from Rick and Pam, and is married to his wonderful wife, Jenna (she'll get her own post later), who birthed him twin baby boys, Henry & Jack, on April 2, 2007. He works in computer networking at a company in Draper, UT and enjoys his job and family. Year-round, you will find him hiking, hunting, and scoping the mountains. He is a great addition to the Holmes Family.

Aw, what a great post! I love that little stinker, and the little stinkers that we have crawling all over the house now. I'm really glad to be married to him, he's a winner and I hit the jackpot big time. Nice work, Mel!
Good job... it will be fun to see future posts about the rest of the clan, too.
