Congrats Max and Emily !!! Now don't let all the posturing by the old galoots confuse you Bodhi, as one with a little experience might tell you, try them all out like fine wine and savor the contentment of the good ones. There are a few good vintages to be found, your Dad has created a fine cellar here.

Misses you at Getaway Max but this makes a fine fine ending

Blessings and Light

What a wonderful day! A baby, and a boy to boot, was born to wonderful folks and a most disliked 24 year Congresswoman was clobbered by an almost unknown in CT! How could there be a better day. Aunt Karen sends a hug and a cuddle to you Bodhi via Uncle Mick. Hey Lily, there's one for you also.

Max and Emily, congratulations and many years of joy ahead. He's a lucky little boy. Thanks for the pictures and can't wait to see more.

love to you all,
karen

Gad! The control of Congress changes hands, Rumsfeld "resigns" and now this!

We shall always remember
The 8th of November.....

Congratulations to the mom and, yeah, you too Max.

Congrats! Bodhi managed not to be born on Guy Fawke's day which would have been bad luck or so I've heard. 8 pounds 14.8 ounces! All I can say is OUCH.

Great Pix!

Wow, what offers of hugs etc. I'm feeling quite jealous.

Seriously, congratulations to all concerned and very well done to Emily - nearly 9lbs, the girl deserves a medal.

!!!! *sputter* !!!!

Bodhi - so as not to mar your natal day with discord, I shall just say your aged and decrepit Uncle Mick obviously wouldn't know good hug even *if* he was still capable of it!

Uncle Mick is full of diaper debris!   His "manhood" has fizzled and shriveled like a 7 year old spud. Trust Ol' Spaw on this. Matter of fact I'll put the whole sad and pathetic tale into a thread for your future reference. His hugs just ain't what they used to be, and neither are some of his other functions.

Ol' Spaw give "Good Hug, you betcha'"

Bodhi Spiegel-Zink!!!!!! I can't wait to see that name on a CD cover! Welcome to the family, young lad. You will find you have many Auntie's and Uncle's. None so special as big ole Uncle Mick. I fully expect you and Goober Schatz to form a band and invite me to sing with you sometime. Just remember, buddy, no one snuggles like Uncle Mick. I will be by in a week or so to change a diaper, and do a little spoilin'. Watch out for MMario!! He is a big man, but his hugs are definitely those of an amateur. For the real deal, hold out for an Uncle Mick hug.

Great job, guys!! It just keeps getting better and better around here.

Love to all,

Mick

This is splendid news that makes an already wonderful morning complete. Hearty congratulations coming your way -- and wishes of much blissful rest, because from the size of Bodhi's vocal cavity, it looks like you might not otherwise be sleeping much for awhile.

Ah well damn! I was about to get a pool going..........You realize this has undoubtedly cost me money don't you? Say.....Any chance you could just shove him back in there for a day or two?.......... No....I guess maybe that would be asking too much. But maybe you could think about it huh?........ No.....that's okay......I'll write it off as a loss.................

I imagine the lad is in need of some Ohio State gear isn't he? How about I send him some Buckeyes? Make ya' proud it would Max! You could brag all around that, "My newborn boy has got some really big nuts!" Then again, maybe just a T-Shirt..........

Congrats from Karen and I to the both of you and I'm sure you know your kids have more Gramps and Grannies and Aunts and Uncles then you could shake a stick at...if that's your idea of a good time.

Ol' Spaw sends big hugs to both the lucky parents........uh, you are one of the parents aren't you? Yeah.....Sure.....Of course.......So BIG HUGS and the warmest of good wishes from Karen and I.

Look like he's got musician's hands to me, and he's started singing already, well, he will be, once he uses the same vocal mechanisms in a more controlled way!!

Congratulations Max.
