A King is Born




Rex Aaron Ghezali arrived on Thursday, 9/18 at 11:44am. 8 lbs 4.4 oz and 21 inches long. Coincidentally, Leila was born at 8:44am--his weight matches her birth time. He had a record arrival--two pushes in one minute and he was out--those child bearing hips come in handy. He is a doll and really reminds us of Leila. We are so impressed with how Leila has made the transition to big sister (thus far...sure there are surprises along the way later!) She is very loving and really enjoyed the visits at the hospital. A big thanks to Mom and Steve for being her caretakers and helping us to make the transition to parents of two. We are home from the hospital now and very much enjoying our new little bundle of love.

(Side note: Leila is not actually offering Rex a real egg--it is a wooden egg from her grocery set. But quite realistic in the pic...)

We are thrilled with our new grandson, Rex Aaron! He is a wonder and a joy, just as is his big sister Leila Joi. We had such fun here playing with Leila and helping Nicole and Samy. It's been a great visit and it's gone by so fast. Congratulations to Nicole and Samy on your beautiful family!

Love,
Grandma and Grandpa B.
