Safe Arrival

The twins are here. They arrived at 3 p.m. on Friday afternoon. in a hospital in Windsor,Ontario.
The Kitchener hospital wasn't set up for them yet. They came eight weeks early.They are fine and feisty and breathing on their own. Two more added to the clan.

Claire got things going but was second to arrive. Reid is the longest,weighs 3pounds, eight ounces and has dark hair. Claire weighs seven ounces less and is blonde. Mom and Dad survived the experience nicely. Dad took the Red Eye from Seattle to Detroit and crossed the river to Windsor in plenty of time to share the excitement.

Grandparents, Stephen and Mary were in Mexico for the March break and missed the excitement...well not exactly...they just weren't on the spot.

It's not clear how long the new family will be in Windsor, We should know to-morrow. The shower is next week-end in Kitchener. It would be nice if they could be at the party.

The little lacy dress is knitted but not stitched together yet. The shawls will never be knitted now.A shawl can not be knitted in a hurry. By the time they'd be finished, their small persons would already be too grown-up. Only new-borns can be wrappped in shawls so the moment has passed. Those moments in an infant's life are like sunbeams. If you don't catch them when they happen, the same chance never comes again.
