owen rhys

He's here! Owen Rhys arrived after a very fast labor at 6:25 pm on Tuesday, June 21st. 6 pounds, 12 ounces, 18 inches long. We're all doing well, if a little tired. :)

I'll post the birth story in the next couple of days, as well as (hopefully) some new pictures.

A link

Yes, I realize it's 3 o'clock in the morning and I'm on the computer....

Yes, I know I should be sleeping...

Yes, I've had to get up 4 times to go to the bathroom since going to bed and can tell I need to again...

Yes, I know that if I take a nap after about 3:30 in the afternoon I have a hard time falling asleep...

Yes, I know the clock said 5:58 when I got up from my nap...

Yes, the baby has had the hiccups 3 times since I went to bed at 11:30...

Yes, the baby seems to finally be back asleep after dancing wildly for the last hour plus...

Yes, I do really have a link to post: something cool I found while looking for stuff to use for making baby announcements...

Yes, I'm done...

In Memory

In loving memory of Dr. Charles "Chuck" Mccart - September 28th, 1948 - May 21st, 2011.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth

Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung

High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,

I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung

My eager craft through footless halls of air...

Up, up the long, delirious burning blue

I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace

Where never lark, or ever eagle flew -

And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod

The high untrespassed sanctity of space,

Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
