Hello Ventura Fan Forcers!

I hope you pardon the interruption, but I just got off the phone with Mr. GentleBant and have some happy news to share with you. GentleBant had her baby girl today!

Linnea Kimiyo was born just before 4:00 p.m. She's 5 pounds, 5 ounces, and 19 inches long. Mother and baby are both doing fine, Daddy is very proud, and big brother Noah very excited.

I'm not sure when GB will be able to head back here, but she wanted me to share the shiny news. So, yay!

 

Yay! Congrats GB! I love that name too, Linnea sounds really awesome.

Thanks for filling us in HandmaidenAnde, and excelent use of the word "shiny". I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to work that and "goram" into my vocabulary.

 

I am glad all went well. Im glad that you chose a name...and a pretty one at that.
Congrats Mr. Bant!

 

yah baby, congrats from me and bri

 

I didn't realize how often I use shiny until one of my second graders used it in her writing to describe her day.

Hey now, don't forget to congratulate GentleBant as well.

 

Thanks, Andé

Here's a glimpse of our newest addition!

Awww, she's super cute... not all weird looking like most new-borns! hehe

 

Actually, that's a particularly cute shot of her. :~) I have plenty of much more typical looking newborn shots of her, too. :~D

And Andé is the most prolific user of "shiny" I've ever known. :~)
