I will probably elaborate on this at another time when I am not so tired and buzzing on the adrenaline that follows a child being born, but I am proud to introduce the newest member of our family, Elisabeth. She was 4 days late, but we managed to have a very stress free 5 hour delivery at home with a wonderful and skilled mid wife. We are elated that our family has grown +1. I sat down realizing that a couple of my favorite songs for baby's are more boy oriented ("Beautiful Boy", and "Stay Up Late"). So when I sat down and heard this beautiful version of Neil Youngs "Little Wing" by Elizabeth Mitchell, I nearly cried all over again. Feel free to post some of your other favorite songs you might play for that little special someone.

We've yet to get a new family pic of all of us, so here's one my wife took of me in the best kind of sleep in the world, the calming baby narcotic of a nap that only a new born can offer (if they could bottle the calm of sleeping holding your child, there would be no market for "sleep aids")..
Congratulations to the family and especially to the radiant mummy. Here's a jazzy cover of Stevie's "Isn't She Lovely"
Lullabye by Concrete Blonde When the sky is falling like a blanket on your shoulder, and the moon is like a mother looking over you forever, and the dawn is so familiar, you were meant to be together like a fog around a mountain. Forever. So softly, so sweetly, surrounding you completely; sing you a lullabye - a lullabye to you. Lullabye - a lullabye to you. When your breathing is the wind and your crying is the rain, well, I know you will remember because the music is forever: The living of a lover and the loving of another, like a sister and a brother, like a father and a mother. So softly, so close to me, surrounding you so beautifully; sing you a lullabye - a lullabye to you. Lullabye - a lullabye to you.
