WOODRUFF - For most of us, the New Year started with a countdown, cheers, and noisemakers.

But for one family in Woodruff, 2013 started with a real noisemaker.

The Reimer family welcomed Ministry Health Care's only New Year's baby last night.

Samuel Reimer was born around 7 p.m.

His five brothers and sisters have been waiting for this day.

"I like it because every time it's New Year's, I can celebrate his birthday," said big brother Levi.

His mom, Kathy, was also glad he finally arrived -- Samuel was overdue by about five days.

All seven Reimers head home from Ministry Howard Young Medical Center tomorrow.
