| On September 20, 2002, Jess and I were blessed with our firstborn son, Benjamin Robert Tschirhart. We named him Ben because we like the name, which means "Son of my right hand" and Robert because it is my dad's first name and Jess's dad's middle name. He looked good for a newborn, as you can see in the hospital photo, taken about two hours after he was born. | ![]() |
