A Baby Boy! August 2007

Hello Friends and Family!

I'm happy to announce the birth of our third child: a baby boy! He
was born at a quarter past midnight on August 11th, in our home in
Lenhartsville. He was 8 pounds 12 ounces, 21 and 1/2 inches long,
with a 15 inch head. Tirah had had a day of "false" labor earlier
in the week, and then during the day on the 10th, she had pretty many
contractions. All of which led up to the fact that by the time
midwife came by for a check-up in the afternoon, Tirah was 5
centimeters. We called the midwife at around 11:00 at night, and
when she arrived, Tirah was already 9 centimeters! The baby was born
an hour and quarter later. A very quick birth! Mama and the baby
are both very healthy. He is nursing well.

We don't have a name yet. We'll keep you posted.

Thea and Cirdan love him. We've taken several pictures, as well as
some video camera footage, which we hope to share with you soon.

Love,
- Solomon

Hello Friends and Family.

Our son's name is: Jaden Micah Keal.

"Jaden" comes from the Hebrew meaning "God had heard."

"Micah" is a version of Michael meaning "Who is like the Lord?"

Love,
Solomon, Tirah, Thea, Cirdan, and Jaden.
