He's Here!



Michael Rankin joined our growing family on Saturday 2/24/07 weighing in at 8 lbs, 1 oz, and 19 & 1/2 inches long!

Celeste and baby Michael are doing well. Celeste had to have an unplanned, but not emergency, C-section. She was able to have her regular doctor whom we both like very much. Jacob is a proud big brother; Nicole is happy to hold the little one; and Andrew is quite gentle with Michael, as he is now a "Big brother".

Enjoy the pictures!
Dad to Four.

Yay! Yay! Yay!!

Congratulations to your entire beautiful family. What a beautiful little boy you have. Can't wait to hear more about the labor AND what it's like to have FOUR.

;) Much love to you all!

Finally, some pictures!

Michael is beautiful and you look absolutely wonderful!!!

If I didn't know you, I would have thought what a nice aunt holding that baby. You totally don't look like a mother who just delivered.

We might try a trip in May, and will definately want to see the newest addition.

He's gorgeous! I'm so glad Brian was able to upload some pictures so we could all get a good luck at your special new addition. And, Celeste, you DO look wonderful!

Congratulations, Brian, Celeste, Jacob, Nicole and Andrew! We can't wait to meet little Michael in person!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Michael is such a gorgeous baby! And I just love his name, too...Meghan was going to be a "Michael" if she was a boy. ;)

You look beautiful, Celeste. Positively radiant! Cheers to you and your sweet family!

P.S. Oops! I meant to also say yesterday: Brian, thank you so much for taking the time to post this announcement and these wonderful photos! I'm sure I was just one of MANY eagerly awaiting details! :)

He's adorable.

So sorry to hear you had to have a csection. Let me know if you need any help, you are welcome to send Jacob over one afternoon to play if he feels the need for some alone time.

Take care and don't try to do too much too soon.
