Thanks for all the sweet wishes for our boy! He's currently napping so I'm trying to collect a thought to share. Ah, here's one. This is how last night began:



and this is how it ended:

A first toast to the newest member of the family

The as-yet-unnamed new member of the family was the subject of a toast in his honor less than twenty-four hours after he came into the world. Warmest congratulations to his parents and to . . . He cannot, alas, be added to the FAB without a name.

New Baby Boy - Name to be added shortly

The newest member of our family - 8 pounds and 3 oz.  Mother and baby are doing well.  

A huge congratulations to the new parents and a prayer of thanks for the good health of mother and child.  Hello, Little One, and welcome to the family.  Mazel Tov!

Here is a picture of our new, naughty, little pooch. Super cute and super charming.

The Fortieth

For the celebration of our fortieth, two kind sisters/sisters-in-law, plus their husbands, sent us these beautiful champagne flutes. Their first use was a morning "mimosa" but later in the day they held a very nice champagne. Here they are in all their glory. They are destined for regular use on all festive occasions in the future, one of which is likely to occur towards the end of September
