Bundle of joy…

Litterally! Yesterday was a great day for the entire family. At 10:35 am mountain time, Juliette was giving birth to Finn (this name of Irish, Gaelic and Old German origin, is said to mean "fair; from Finland"; in mythology, Finn MacCumhail was a third-century legendary Irish hero like Robin Hood.) Both the mother and her baby are doing well, and our little man weighs an impressive 7 pound 14 once and is 19 inches tall. His father Thomas finds him particularly cute and we wholeheartedly agree with him. Evelyne and I took turns holding this precious baby and didn’t want to give him back to his parents. Michèle, Philippe, Evelyne and I are really lucky to be Finn’s grandparents.

What a beautiful baby. He looks perfect. Again, congratulations to you both. And please tell Thomas and Juliette that we are thrilled for them. Knowing Thomas over the past 16 years, I know he is a great Daddy. And I hope to meet the entire family one day.
