Alex Has Arrived!

Welcome to our Blog! We're going to be giving you updates on Alex and posting pictures for anyone interested. Check back from time to time and we'll put some new pictures up here and update you on how things are going in the Big Apple. If a little time goes by and we don't put up pictures, send me an email and tell me (politely - I may not have yet had my fill of my morning coffee when I'm checking my email) to get off my butt and add some pictures.


In case you haven't yet marked it all over your calendar, Alex was born on May 25, 2007, at 8:25 AM. He weighed 8 lbs., 3 oz., and measured 21 - 1/2 inches long.


The picture to the right is one of the first ones - he's holding onto Daddy's hand.




Here's Alex in his going home outfit. A gift from his Daddy. We were afraid that the Pooh slippers that came with the outfit weren't going to fit, but whew, they did! (Don't know how much longer they will fit though!)




You may have guess it, but I think we're planning on raising a Mountaineer fan! Among Alex's favorite players are Steve Slayton (10), Zach Flynt (54), and Patrick White (5).


Let's Gooooooooooooo Mountaineers!


Thanks for checking us out! We'll do our best to keep everyone posted! Alex has his first doctor's appointment tomorrow...

I had the privilege of meeting Alex while visiting with Kirsten on Monday, June 4th. After seeing him I can say that he will be at WVU playing basketball (or at least watching the game). In the meantime, as a native New Yorker and Queens resident he can be a Mets fan! His Mom is a great colleague and I look forward to having her back at school in September! See you all soon!
