Share your congratulations here...




Sam and Celia will be welcoming a new baby boy Lennon into this world sometime in the wee hours of this morning, February 3rd. I thought it would be a nice gift to welcome Lennon and Congratulate Sam and Celia here on this Blog. Please leave a message for them. No picture yet(he's not here yet), but as soon as we have one,I will post it here.
Celia went into labor late night February 2nd. She has been amazing. Everyone is doing okay. Sam's Mom and Dad are at the hospital waiting for their first Grandchild.
Thank you...
Aunt Pamela

Hi Everyone!

In the words of a dear friend, it's good to be a dad!

Celia and Lennon are doing well. Baby weighed in at 6 lbs.15 oz. and meassured 19.6 inches. He was born just past midnight and has been doing great.

I wanted to personally thank all of you for your kind and encouraging words and all of your generosity throughout the pregnancy. Lennon is a very fortunate baby to have such wonderful, loving and thoughtful friends.

Celia and I are eternally grateful to you all. After a very long 24 hours of labor we feel blessed to welcome Lennon to this warm soka family. Please enjoy the attached photos of our baby boy.

Thank you all.

With Love,

Sam, Celia and Lennon

  2. A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for innocence on earth, a link between angels and men.
