| William Robert Adams on his birthday, Jan. 16, 2012 |
Young Master Adams is the great-grandson of Maxine Fieg and Dr. Robert Whiteside and grandson of Marsha Whiteside and William "Bill" Adams Sr., all of Iowa.
The newly expanded family lives in a condo ("which seems right downtown, to me ----big-time town for an adopted Iowan like me," says Great-grandma Maxine) at 1830 W. Huron, #2, Chicago, IL 60622 for those of you who would like to send your regards.
Grandmother Marsha reports, "Labor and delivery went smoothly, all is well.... He is pretty darn cute!"
The double name is a common joke in the Whiteside family. Aunt Maxine says, "All the guys in the family fool around with the "two name" names ----often by simply adding "Joe" for the fake middle name." This birth prompted the baby's uncle, Kevin Still, to exclaim, "Ah, we have a Billy Bob in the family," and so the name will probably stick, for good or ill.
Baby BB's uncles Bob and Jeff Whiteside, sent their congratulations via e-mail. Said Jeff, "Congrat-ulations to all. One more plate for the Thanksgiving dinner," and Bob said simply, "Welcome Billiam Bobbert!"
Let us hope that, with all the nicknames the kid has, we will know who is being spoken about when his name comes up in the future!
On another note, Aunt Maxine reports that Marsha and Bill have moved back into the main level of their house in Dakota Dunes, IA. The home was flooded last year forcing the couple to move in with her parents for a few months while repairs were made. "Arrangements are being (made) to re-do the lower level----fortunately they were able to haul (man oh man is that heavy stuff) the carpet and carpet pad to our downstairs in hope it'll be usable," says Maxine. We all wish them a speedy return to normalcy.
