Welcome, Lily Ani. We've been expecting you. Sit down. Put your feet up. Relax. If you get bored, you can amuse yourself with the antics of Uncle Pene over there. He's the one grinning from ear to ear. Let Mom and Dad rest for a while. Your older sister can fill you in on the details while they are distracted.
You are loved, little one.

I'm home, though my girls are not yet. They had a shortage of cots tonight at the hospital, so I solved their problem by coming home tonight. Everyone is very happy and healthy (and very tired), so it is certainly a joyous occasion. Can't rest yet, I have some pictures to put online. Just walked in the door for 24 hours of making life, so it may take me a moment to get my thoughts in order. Be back in several moments with some pictures, and hopefully more coherent thought.

From: Stilly River Sage

Wonderful! Much better news than anything else that came our way this evening!

Max, proofread the birth certificate! You two have chosen a beautiful name, and Pene Azul wrote it as "Lili Ani." Two 'L's. But I see many have already managed to misspell it with three 'L's. (Sorry to introduce this minor key, but my daughter's name was misspelled on her birth certificate after I expressly spelled it out letter by letter to the woman from the hospital who thought simple forms were too difficult for parents to fill out accurately! I had to jump through hoops to get it corrected!)

I tip my glass of wine to you all of you! Now try to get some sleep.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Baby: A Girl!!!!!
From: Stilly River Sage

Yup! Definitely proof read! Pene Azul wrote it Lilly Ani on the other thread. So it's six of one, half dozen of the other at this point. But it's still a great name, however you spell it!

It's remarkable--sunshine at midnight. The glow from this thread is intense!

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...

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.

Congratulations to Lili Ani, Max, Emily, and the whole family (aunts, uncles, grandparents?)...

She's so cute in the pictures, but then again, all newborns are kind of cute. We'll see how cute you think she is at age 4 when she keeps waking you up in the wee wee hours of the morning.

If you need a fun guidebook for rearing her, I can recommend George Bernard Shaw's "Parents and Children." His basic thesis is that each new child is an attempt by God to start over fresh, and interference on the part of the parents can only muck it up.

And now we fast forward to Sweet 16 where Miss Lily, who now insists on "Lila", is on stage, golden hair to the waist, guitar (a Martin, of course) in hand. Big Sister Alexis plays fiddle, she too with waist length hair but hers is drawn back off her face in a silver clasp fashioned by Don Meixner or maybe bone by AllanC. The sisters are clad in layers of bubble wrap, modest but intriguing. And down front, led by a wild potato thonged Mick, is an army of hairy old men and tie dyed old women all keeping a wary eye out for any young man who dares to show interest.

In the entrance sits Max with Uncle Pene at a table full of CDs. The loving girls have generously set aside part of the table for their ersatz relatives' cassettes, CDs, 8-tracks, and LPs but put a firm foot down when Dad trotted out the 18th Annual Nude Mudcat Calendar.

And in the last row, hanging on every note, is a besotted and middle-aged MattR trying to quiet the ever curmudgeonly Kendall who is stage whispering about Taylors and Martins and Apollos.

Just can't wait!

......and Spaw is once again making lewd suggestions.

Also SRS....I'm with Sorch.........We all get really hung up on kids because we love 'em so much. When we adopted Tris we were lucky enough to bring him straight home from the hospital and when I looked at him I thought he was the most beautiful thing in the world. But prior to becoming a Dad and all AND if you really take a good look at any baby, you have to agree that "beautiful baby" is an oxymoron. Egads what a frightening thing they are. Wan't it Cosby who said they "didn't look done and needed to go back in the oven for awhile?" Actually when I look at how grossly lacking we are as a species, I am constantly amazed that we are at the top of the chain...at the moment.

Puppies are cute. Babies are wrinkled up, pruney, reddish-splotchy little suckers. But like all of you, I find them just adorable.

Actually, she is remarkably UNwrinkly -- has that filled-out (and smug) look of one who swiped a coupla extra weeks in the egg -- I'm surprised she doesn't have teeth and a full head of hair. Look at it as two less weeks until she sleeps through the night. Lili Ani -- Leilani -- L'il Yanni -- O the possibilities. And except the the chin dimple, a remarkable resemblance to Max. Just look at those eyes.

I had a rude comment all prepared for Mick - but the computer ate it.
The man has all the luck!

I won't mention the pitiful way he hung about the driveway waiting for the arrival. Wish I had thought of it first!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Actually, Leo, it was dumb luck. And you should have seen the panicked look on Max's face. Clearly he was in a pickle....I am chuckling just thinking about it. She is such a tiny little beauty, but I think there is enough of her to go around, even for a couple of galoots like you and I.
