A new life!

At 5:14 am January 11th 2007, Griffin Bruce Larson was born weighing in at an unexpected 9 lbs 1 oz with blonde hair and blue eyes! We thank our God who allowed us the amazing opportunity to be privileged enough to be a part of the creation of a new life. What an amazing experience. You know that I will be writing a number of posts on this in the next while.

We have pictures but we're not home yet from the hospital. Kari's labour and delivery were somewhat complicated near the end and so little Griffin is being monitored closely for now while we wait there. If all is well, in a couple days we'll bring him home :).

Thanks also to all who have been such an amazing help through this whole process: Pat & Peggy stuck with us through all 19 hours of labour, as did Joanne, Kari's Mom. Kari is doing remarkably well for all that.

As far as the pool, all guesses are in and with the announcement above the pool closes. I will determine the winner shortly and post it here soon. If you have not yet paid your pool entrant fee, please do so soon, thank you. I'M A DAD!!!

    Wow, congrats Tima and Kari and family. Love the name and we will keep you guys in our prayers. In 4 to 6 weeks you will start to get some normal sleep again. They do eventually sleep for 6 or more hours.

    Welcome baby Griffin! Wow, I hope baby and mommy are OK. Prayers for health and healing coming your way.

    I know two other boys born in the last year and a half named Griffin/Gryphon/Gryffin. Cool name.
