Welcoming the Gherkin -- 22.Mar.2010

We're settling in, resting up, and adjusting to life with our new addition. We still call him gherkin, munchkin, pumpkin, and peanut, but he now has an official name that's not so ooey-gooey: Owen Fyfe Lindeloff - 7 lbs 13 oz, 21" long with momma's lips and daddy's hands by the looks of it.




Lindeloff is a family name from Matt's side (paternal grandmother's maiden name), which we've chosen to revive for our little family. Because we like it, and because it embraces a Scandinavian heritage that we share. We both plan on changing our legal last names as well, but keeping our current last names for professional purposes. You all can call us by either.

We're really happy, and looking forward to introducing you to the wee one...
