Crib Note – Freeman

Robert Eugene Freeman, Jr. arrived into the world on July 4th with all of the pomp and circumstance required for the day! Rory is the son of Hannah Arnspiger Freeman and Bobby Freeman of Kansas City, Missouri. He is the grandson of Susan and Dr. Richard Arnspiger of Fairway, Kansas, and Stephanie and Paul Freeman, of Mission Hills, Kansas. Rory’s great-grandparents are Charlotte Matthews of Kansas City, Kansas, and Jennifer and Bob Sawyer of Kansas City, Missouri. 

The adorable bundle of joy weighing six pounds, 15 ounces, was named with a nod to the family’s love of golf and the legendary Rory McIlroy. Completing the athletic theme for the family, Hannah found out she was pregnant with him as she qualified for the Boston Marathon, so he was dubbed, “Boston Qualifier,” and he will be in attendance in his stroller this time, when Hannah runs the marathon again in April!
