Enter the Phinlet
Our dad cobbled this together, and asked that I post this on his behalf since Phin, incredibly, doesn't seem to have the time to blog right now.
Just wanted to publish an update on family phin. The phinlet, came into this world, not of his own volition at approximately 0115 on the morning of March 9, 2006. As I mentioned yesterday Ms. Phin began labor at about 0630 on the morning of the 8th. After about 18 hours and little progress the decision was made to do a "C" section. Good move. The phinlet came into this world looking for a beer and a cigar.At 8lbs 14 oz, with a full head of hair, he is at least half grown.
After seeing the little guy and verifying that Phin and wife were well, Nana and Papa went home to bed. After three hours of sleep and a days work we returned to the hospital for the formal introduction to our new grandson. Not that I’m biases, but he is cute as a "guppy."
I do what to say that we have some pictures and as soon as I can figure how to upload we will get them out. Maybe tomorrow night when CY and family arrive he can help educate an old man.
Frankly, I've been trying to educate the old man for years, so I doubt one more night is going to help all that much.
Oh... did someone say something about a picture?
Enter the Phinlet:
I gotta tell you: Phin and the Mrs do really, really good work.
Welcome to the family, kid. You'll be much loved.
What a CUTIE! I just wanna squish and cuddle him!
Welcome to the world little one!
Congrats to you Phin and Mrs. Phin!

But he really doesn't look much like a goldfish.... Maybe you should take Vinnie up on his suggestion.

Truly he is adorable - you must be proud! Here's to a new life!
Posted by: merri at March 10, 2006 02:15 AMHonestly? That is one of the most gorgeous babies I ever laid eyes on. He must get it from his mother ;)
