Unto us a Grandson is Given!

Please join us in welcoming Evan Connor Valentine to the human race. Born May 3, 2007. 8 pounds, no ounces. 20 inches, and a head of light blond hair. The wise look of a baby old beyond his years!

Don and I spent the day with Brynn while Dave and Claire went off to the hospital in what was a remarkably well-orchestrated birth. The baby's name was about the only suspense. Brynn was an absolute angel and although initial reaction to Baby Evan was tentative, she is already getting into this idea of being the big sister.

Dave is becoming a pro daddy - doesn't he look completely at ease with his new son? (Okay, maybe not, maybe there's just a hint of trepidation in his face here?)

Michael was still hoping he'd be named 'Vincent'. He felt a New Jersey kid named Vinnie Valentine just sounded right, somehow. He watches too many Quentin Tarantino movies. I guess he'll just have to name his son that someday! Anyway, what a happy day!

Congratulations, Dave, Claire and Brynn!!!
