Introducing: Ivy Sommer Dutton :)
« on: July 24, 2008, 07:16:22 pm »
As of  9:44pm last night, Astros fandom just got a little bigger (and I got a LOT smaller), when Ivy Sommer Dutton entered the world, at 7lb 8.8oz and 20 1/2 inches :) I'll post a few photos later, after we get the camera's cable to transfer.

Just wanted to share the good news :)

Congratulations!

Great to hear that mother and daughter are doing fine.

Here's to a few years of no sleep!

Quite a string of kids due in the TZ.  I guess we now know why last year's World Series ratings were low.

Is that why I got lucky in June?
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Happy Birthday Ivy!
