Arrival!



We are so happy to announce that Cecilia Pyne Dunne joined the outside world at 7:05pm today. She weighed in at 7 pounds and 14 ounces and has quite a full head of black hair. Molly and Cecilia are doing great. I'm pretty sure Cecilia will want to watch the fourth quarter of Monday Night Football once she gets back from her spa treatment with the nurses down the hall. Many thanks to all the well wishers, good thoughts and prayers. We are beyond thrilled.
A note about her names; Cecilia is my grandmother's first name and Molly's grandmother's middle name. It runs in both families and we are happy to keep the tradition going. May our daughter have the spirit of adventure and intelligence of those women who went before her. As for her middle name, Pyne is the name of both the courtyard where Molly and I got engaged and where we held the reception following our wedding. As for the last name, well that just kind of got tagged on as an afterthought. We think it generates tax deduction benefits.
PS- holy gray hair! Is that the dad or the grand dad?! I hope that picture is a optical distortion due to some sort of special UV germ killing lightbulbs they use in the delivery rooms.

Congratulations!! You have a great looking family and Cecillia is wonderful addition. I’m Facebook friends with Colleen and she had posted about your blog. Thought I would come check it out. Glad to see I’m not the only one in our age group still doing the baby thing, we had a little girl in February, that makes three!! The ice cream cart sounds fabulous, all I (well, I guess we) had was the free fountain drink machine one of the nurses showed me. Being the Coca Cola freak I am, I don’t think I sleep for the 3 days my wife was in the hospital. Drop me a line some time I would love to catch up. Greg Schwanzl
