Thanks Max, Emily, Alexis and Uncle Pene for including us in this wonderful beginning of a life and for getting the pix up so quickly. It is truly incredible to share this. Wow, whadda community, huh?

Wow, the last time I looked there were only 4 pictures...

The ones of Max and Lily are wonderful. I remember the first time I held my daughter (well, it was only 8 years ago...) I started singing,

Go to sleep, you little baby
Let the days go slowly by
Listen to your daddy singing
Singing Shayna's lullaby

Not exactly Grammy material, but it was from the heart. And I still sing it to her.

(Wonder how Lily's going to like the blues?
I went down to West Chester Nursery
To see my baby there...)

Aloha,
Mark

Shouts of glee, high fives and passing round virtual cigars in the virtual waiting room. (Bing Crosby singing "Little One" with Louis Armstrong's sublime trumpet obligato playing in the background).

Congrats to all 3 (and Mick for guessing right -or does he have the gift?)

I know that shmoooozed out look you have in thos epictures -- the sappy stunned overdosed on delirium look? I had that same silly grin on the night that Barky got let into the world. It is really nice to see that look on ya!

Hugs to both those fine women in your life.

You do look happy, Max. It's very different this time around. Enjoy every minute of it.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Don't you think she looks just a little bit like Kendall, though?? Put some glasses on her and you'll see it.

Tom and I also promise not to make any comments about most babies looking like little Winston Churchills . . . (then again, maybe she DOES look like Kendall!)

Congrats and hugs!

Oops - only in the world for a few hours before I misspelled her name! Sorry about that, and for leaving Alexis out. As much as I wasn't nuts about the name at first, it sounds wonderful when you say it all at once: "Lilyani" Of course, I'm assuming the "Ani" part is pronounced "Ahni." Right or wrong?

I notice there are no photos of Emily. She probably threatened to hurt Max, I dunno. Thanks for the photos - cute little crib critter baby.

I can only echo all that's been said above.
Start a scrapbook, with plenty of photos and notes, we took photos but 20 years later we can't remember all the locations, and can't recall all the funny things our kids said and did.Now is a golden time enjoy it to its full.

Dani, why do you say she looks like me? I was never that cute!
9 pounds, wow! Max, you more than got your bait back!

Seriously, enjoy every second of this precious gift. She was born on my baby's birthday; she is now 32, and, although I still love her as an adult, man, do I miss that little girl who was Daddys little girl.
Carpe Diem my friend.
