The Afton Group and Nelson County Life just got their newest member this Sunday morning at 11:49 AM! Adam Thomas Stafford was born at 11:49 AM at a weight of 8 lbs and 1 oz & 19.5 inches long.
Yvette awoke with mild cramping at 7:07AM and by 11:49AM Adam was here! The birth was a total natural delivery, no intervention. Way to go Yvette!
Yvette and I want to say thank you to everyone who has been asking over the weekend, and everyone that’s been with us all of the way. What a fantastic place to live and raise a family, and we are so blessed to have to some many wonderful people here in our life!
We’ll post more as we catch our breath!

A definite “Top Story” for 2008!! Great name! My Adam told me to say that, but I think it’s a great one too! I’m sure TV news will be off limits for yet another Adam! And now you two, get ready for the biggest, but without a doubt, the best assignment of your lives! You both deserve it. Congratulations!!
He is adorable. I knew he would be. Looking forward to holding me and watching him grow. Give him a kiss from Aunt Milly. I’m so happy for you guys.
Opps1 I meant holding him. Too early in the morning.
Welcome little Adam! He is a very blessed little boy to have such great parents. Hope that you all enjoy every single day of this great adventure!
I had a feeling Tommy and Yvette, that it was going to happen this weekend. I am so happy for all three of you, and I am thankful that everything went well.
Like you say, this is a wonderful place to raise a family.
Talk to you soon.
Best regards,
Paul

Congratulations! Well done.
Yay!! Jackson can’t wait to show Adam how to ride a tractor and play in the creek. Congrats Tommy & Yvette, you have the most amazing times ahead. What a blessing! – C, A & J
Massive congratulations – what a little charmer. That should bring the sun out in Nelson!

Congratulations!!! Handsome little guy.
What wonderful news! Enjoy each moment as the years will fly by. Adam is adorable and very blessed to have you both as parents. We look forward to seeing baby Stafford around town. We have been in Kiawah and were thrilled come home to such awesome news for you and Yvette! Congratulations!!!
I was thinking about you guys over the weekend! I am so excited for your family! Please email ME more pictures when you can…Expect a care package soon from Mickey Mouse and the gang at Disney World!
YES Paco is here! Congradulations!
We SAW the flag coming back from church, and wondered if that was the news! How wonderful for the two of you. The GREAT years are on the way for the two of you. Please bring him to play in the woods behind the cabin. Little boys should dig holes and build ‘forts’ instead of sitting in front of computers like you and me.
Congatulations to good friends!! No medicine is more valuable, none more efficacious than friends with whom we may share our happiness in time of joy. Lee and I are so very happy for you both and of course for Adam Thomas who completed the 9 month the journey safely:)
Tommy and Yvette –always keep in mind that in all ranks of life the human heart yearns for the beautiful; and the beautiful things that God makes are His gifts to all alike. Little Adam Thomas is one of His gifts.
Dear Tommy and Yvette,
Please Tell Little Adam his 2nd cousin said welcome to the family and world.

Congratulations to you, Yvette and the “Littlest Stafford.” You will be wonderful parents. You seem to have found true happiness with your move to Virginia. Its been a long time since we’ve seen each other when we both worked for Channel 3. I’ve tried to keep a very low profile since my retirement for a lot of reasons but just couldn’t resist sending my best wishes to you and your family.
Jerry
Wow, Jerry!
