Our future cyclist is finally here

[HappyAnika]

He was 10 days overdue, which drove me insane, but he is so worth it! Everett Randolph was born on 2-13-08, weighing in at 6 lb 5 oz and 21 inches long. He's got his daddy's legs, which is a good thing, he should make a fine cyclist and runner.

My bike was tuned up in January, it's sitting in the basement waiting until I'm ready to start riding the trainer. I had a 2nd degree internal tear, not too bad. I'm going to the gym for the first time tomorrow, going to see how it feels to sit on the stationary.

Babies look "squishy" when they are bigger. My kids were 5.7 and 6.5 lbs. and had that same alert look.

When You Dream, Barenaked Ladies
Words by steven page & ed robertson. music by steven page

With life just begun, my sleeping new son
Has eyes that roll back in his head
They flutter and dart, he slows down his heart
And pictures a world past his bed
Its hard to believe
As I watch you breathe
Your mind drifts and weaves

When you dream,
What do you dream about?
When you dream,
What do you dream about?
Do you dream about
Music or mathematics
Or planets too far for the eye?
Do you dream about
Jesus or quantum mechanics
Or angels who sing lullabies?

His fontanel pulses with lives that he's lived
With memories he'll learn to ignore
And when it is closed, he already knows
He's forgotten all he knew before
But when sleep sets in
History begins
But the future will win

When you dream,
What do you dream about?
When you dream,
What do you dream about?
Are they colour or black and white,
Yiddish or English
Or languages not yet conceived?
Are they silent or boisterous?
Do you hear noises just
Loud enough to be perceived?
Do you hear Del Shannon's runaway playing
On transistor radio waves?
With so little experience,
Your mind not yet cognizant
Are you wise beyond your few days?
When you dream,
What do you dream about?
When you dream,
What do you dream about?

[Jen-Jen]

[Trek420]

Congratulations! Here's another song for a new mother - it still brings tears to my eyes even though my son is ten :o

Lullaby to Erle (by Silje Neegaard)

Mothers have woven a black velvet ocean
And spread it between the night and day shores
So that children might sleep, gently rocked by the motion
Of waves beneath boats built by fathers like yours

With you safe aboard by the shore we will linger
And watch as your breathing it fills up the sail
You loosen the moorings, your grip on our finger
And leave on the velvet a silvery trail

Alone on the shore with our heart close to breaking
We stand in the wake as you glide from our reach
Calmed by the thought that the voyage you're taking
Will bring you at dawn back safe to this beach

We cannot sail with you, be there to guide you
Or pilot your boat through the black of the night
But no ocean can keep you, no darkness can hide you
Away from our love and its undying light.

[maillotpois]

Congratulations! He is darling!
