Crib Note – William Prentice Nachbar

Richard Joseph Nachbar III, who is known as Tripp, received an early birthday present this year. His brother, William Prentice Nachbar, was born on January 4th – three days before Tripp’s very first cakedate! The boys’ parents are Brooke and Richard Nachbar, Jr., of Leawood, Kansas. Grandparents Diana and Brian Willliams and Joni and Richard Nachbar are delighted with this adorable addition to the family. The newest Nachbar will be known as Liam. His first name is a nod to his mother’s maiden name, and his middle name is in honor of Brooke’s grandfather. Liam weighed seven pounds, six ounces, and was 21 inches long. He has brown hair and brown eyes. Already, the two brothers are the best of friends!
