Our son is born!

Baby Notice:

Maximus Dempsey Gruber stepped outside the womb September 14th at 5:30 p.m. and weighed in at a healthy and robust 8 lbs. 11.6 oz. I say robust because he was a full month early! You can't keep a Gruber down, or in as the case may be, and try as she might she couldn't keep him in any longer. Such is the way of babies.

His beautiful mother, Yoshiko, is doing well and recovering comfortably at home surrounded by the sweet perfume of baby's breath, diapers, and baby gas. It must be the Roepenack side coming out in him, quite literally, and any recognition of this recessive gene in poor Maximus' genetic makeup is to be forwarded, kindly, to his Grandmother Jamie.

Welcome Max, we couldn't wait for you to arrive and now that you are here, we can't wait to see your face in our every waking moment. You are a blessing.

If you would like to extend your well earned congratulations to the hardest working mama in town, please feel free to leave Yoshi a comment on this here blog.
