Welcome, Leonhardt Tobias!

Please join me in welcoming the lastest addition to the Crowley clan: Leonhardt Tobias.  I’ve known him for, well, his entire life and I can tell you he’s a pretty cool kid.  You’d like him, really.

He was born at seven o’clock (German time) on the fourth of August (so you’ll all know when to send presents.  I hear he wants whiskey for his first birthday).  He was 3.97kg and 53cm at birth. . . meaning that I won the bet on how heavy he’d be.

The bad news is this: after literally two days of trying to have the baby–and hours upon hours of contractions–Christine got rushed to a C-section because of. . . well, details.  Everyone’s okay.  But, the poor kid’s mom is pretty tired.  (His dad didn’t do much: he just smiled and tried to be friendly.)  So, when you’re saying prayers tonight, include one for Christine. . . as well as for Leonhardt.  (It’s a cool name, I don’t know if I want to call him Leonhardt–no nickname–or TobyTwo.  Tough call.)

I imagine that, over the next couple of days, I’ll be getting more photos of him taken.

That doesn’t mean I’ll bother to upload them.  Still, it wouldn’t hurt to check, eh?
