Now just a darn minute here, all those diapers had better have not been changed!!!! I demand my rights as a surrogate (although MIA, of late) Unk, and expect that a least a few diapers will be left for me to change.

I am sorry that I haven't gotten to this one. I resolved the fight that I had to fight (principles intact), and as a result of the good fight, I got promoted. The bad news is that I am on an airplane on Monday, and not back until Friday. Spending my time organizing slaughterhouse workers in South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska.

These are two of my favorite people in the world, and I just couldn't be happier!! I was at a music gathering last weekend, and the list indicated that Dan would be there, so I thought he would bring Geeta and the new wee one. But only Uncle Ken was there. Not even Grandma Nancy.

Bless this baby and bless these wonderful parents. Kiran, one day you will realize what a gift that God bestowed on you by bringing you into this family. You will know love, you will know the joy of education, you will know cultures, and you will have the gift of music, young lad. And with all this, you will make a difference in this world. And the world will be better for it.

Love to all, and I will be by to change the diaper,

Uncle Mick

Can't believe that I missed this until today. Welcome Kiran. I love his name. Congraulations Dan, Geeta, Nancy and Uncle Ken. I wish you all a long, happy, singing life together. I can't wait to meet him at the Getaway. Anxious to see the pictures.

My love to you all,
Auntie Karen (Sins, you are not the only aunt!)

MY son was born in May and attended his first Getaway when he was 6 months old....

It just takes planning & determination...*grin*....and one thing about babies that age, you have a LOT of volunteers to relieve you of holding them constantly. (Now, at 2½, the story is different)

Well, Kiran met his Grandma Nancy this weekend and they got along famously! (Well, it's famous now since I've posted it to the internet.) He is an absolute joy to be with - still. And eventually the pictures will come - we have a beautiful one of Kiran with his Grandma!

It will take a little while, though - we are still running around figuring out what we need more of, learning how to do things for the first time that eventually will take no time at all, and spending time with the family and friends who have dropped in to visit!

Thanks for all the good wishes.

Dan

Welcome to earth, Kiran! It's clear you chose your family carefully and well!

Dan and Geeta, I can feel the love, joy and wonder the two of you are beaming at the baby right through the computer screen!

We want pictures! Get Grandma to post them:^)

Now where to find baby size banjo...



No problem- a Banjo-uke makes a good baby tenor...


And a dulcimer is no problem, either... And a viola would make a good baby bass, with a little work.

Here's some information about the meaning of the name Kiran:

"The boy's name Kiran \k(i)-ran\ is pronounced keer-an. It is of Hindi and Sanskrit origin, and its meaning is "beam of light"."

What a wonderful meaning!

Congratulations to you, your wife, and your family.

And may your child wear his name proudly!

Pretty damned exciting, if you ask me! I'm eager to meet our new family member, so I'm planning on going up to Pennsylvania this coming weekend.

I have seen a couple of pictures (Dan emailed them to me), but I'm such a techno-klutz I'm not even going to attempt to post them. But take my word for it -- he's gorgeous! I'm sure we'll have pix on line before long.

Becca, if you think YOU feel old --- I applied for Medicare and became a grandmother on the same day!

Thanks for all the good wishes, folks!

Dan - you might want to print out an extra copy for a "baby book" - could make quite an impression in later years when you can prove to him he had a "birth known 'round the world"

Date: 02 May 07 - 03:55 PM

Thanks for all the good wishes - I'll print these out and give them to Geeta. It may be awhile before I can figure out how to get pictures posted, but we'll get them up eventually. A few people who may have more time for such things than I already have some, so perhaps they can post them on Flicker or what-not.

Mother and baby are still doing well. He's a joy to be with.
