Clark Mathieu Ekins has landed! He gave everyone a scare when he tried to come out 'Clark Kent' style with both fists first but, with a little encouragement, he didn't. He touched down at 5:12 pm on Friday, July 16th, 2010 weighing 7 lbs 11 oz and marking out 20 inches. So far, he has been on the far side of mild and very sweet. Jayne is recovering well and both we're discharged Sunday morning. Ellen and James have been delighted with their first encounters. Parents Anderson have been essential in our transition to being out numbered for the 1st time (2 parents v. 3 kids). For those interested, Clark is Jayne's mother's great family name and Mathieu (pronounced 'match' with emphasis on the 'ch') is for a French Huguenot emigrant on my side. We'll give Clark his baby blessing at Church on the 1st Sunday in September; you're all welcome to attend!
