Congratulations to new parents Jon Jones (second from the right) and wife Sarah on the birth of their first child Hudson Lennon Jones. Their new bundle of joy made his world debut Monday afternoon outside Fort Worth, Texas.

Jon says, “We are all still settling in to our new lives and are learning something new every minute. I could not be more proud of my wife and could not be a happier father.”

According to People, mother and son were both healthy and happy, so the family headed home in time to ring in the New Year together, while EYB played a show in Oklahoma. Jon adds, “The rest of the band went onstage without me for the second time in our careers. They are truly great friends for letting Sarah and I share this wonderful experience together.”
