Zend Certification

Tuesday, May 9. 2006

Amber Colleen was born on May 6, 2006, just 54 minutes past midnight. Due to overwhelming demand, here are some photos of our beautiful little girl:

Recuperating from a very long day.

Dad has learned how to swaddle me. I've learned how nice it is to be cuddled. I've also learned that hospital furniture tends to be very, very ugly.

It's 6:54 AM. Apparently Amber takes after her Dad as far as early mornings go...

Lynn and Amber holding hands.

I'm either hungry, or tired, or my diaper needs changing, or it's too bright, or too loud, or I'm too cold, or too hot... but despite my anger, this little outfit looks pretty damned good on me!

Congrats on the new addition to the family - can't wait to get up there to see her in person, swaddle her in Boston clothing and place her in the soon-to-be-smuggled-across-the-border baby carriage...

She's beautiful ! We are sooo happy for the four of you.

Happy Mother's Day to the new Mom...and is it me, or was Amber forming baby's first hornfist in that last pic?

This is truely amazing. I especially liked the "My Dad's a gick" shirt Amber is wearing in one of the photos (stating nothing but real truth

) . You both seem exhusted, but full of joy. Amber is a princes. Big congrats and quick recovery to Lynn. You really did well guys, just keep up the good work!
