It is with great pleasure... (Originally published on June 13, 2007)

... that I present my neice, Audrey Roisin Marles. Born 3:32 AM on June 13, 2007. She came into this world weighing 7 lbs. 12 oz. (3.52 kg) and is currently 20 1/2" (52 cm) long.

I was able to get to the hospital about 2 hours before she arrived. Mother and baby are both doing quite well. My sister is pouring forth light. I am amazed by her strength.

I will only be in Tennessee for another 24 hours or so. I'll take many pictures and post them to flickr when I return to Philadelphia.

I wish you all joy and love.
