Just over a week ago, Saturday August 7th, my brother Ryan and his wife Alison welcomed their first child, a boy, Aiden into the world. He came six weeks early and was light at 4lb 8oz, but he's a fighter and he looks to be pulling through. The ordeal was tough on both baby and mother but Alison's recovering and hopefully the whole family will be back at home soon enough.
This mean that Robyn and I are Aunt and Uncle, which we're very excited about! We feel removed and unable to help in any way being so far from home, but it's amazing the feelings of family, love, and responsibility we already have towards this small blessing whom we haven't even met yet.
Aiden's not quite out of the woods yet so please keep him in your thoughts so my brother and Alison can have him home in their arms soon.
In other, related, news our friends Jen and Al Agnew were delivering their first child, also a boy, Jessie, at the same time Alison was in the hospital. From what I have heard all is well for them and Robyn and I are very excited for their new family and wish them the best!
Thanks all.
