A Child Is Born

It's been a busy week, mid week we got the early morning call that Francesca's friend was in the hospital in labor, 2 hours away in Truckee, CA. We got in the car at 4 a.m. and drove up to help her through labor. When we got there she was in labor but not much, we started making predictions about the delivery time, I said 8 p.m. everyone else guessed before 3 p.m.
We were all wrong, after hours of pushing and resting and pushing, she wound up having a c-section the following morning at 9:12 a.m 6#9oz and 19 inches of beautiful boy joined the world. It was really a great experience but exhausting. We spent the next day trying to rejuvinate at Donner Lake, it was beautiful, by the time I got up to the look-out in this picture, it was clouding over, but it's really beautiful. We got one great lunch in and one yoga class in Truckee, before heading back to Berkeley, we drove through the valley in the 110 degree weather...hot hot hot. Now I am heading down to hot hot hot again to pick up our dining room table in San Diego. I am spending 2 days at the beach and making the 8 hour or so drive back Tuesday. I'll take pictures. More next week after I recover from this exhausting week by the SoCal ocean, I am looking forward to it! Don't melt in MN see you soon!
