If you aren’t on Misty and Stephen’s “Sprout Updates” list, it’s unlikely that you’ll get a link to what Stephen wrote:

“To Elijah on his First Week Anniversary”

As commanded, the Huntsville geeken shall do the dance of joy today: Elijah Clark Granade 7 lbs., 5 oz. Born oh, right around an hour ago - 8:13 a.m. Central time. No photos yet. Something about the parents wanting time to spend with their newfound kidlet before just handing him over to the local geeks. (Who knew? Picky, picky.) Congratulations to a couple of folks who are going to be most excellent parents (and Misty, who was essentially already a second mother to most of the Huntsvegas geekenry anyway)….and to Andrew, my old, old friend, who has been waiting for a niece or nephew to spoil for a long, long time now. Guess he'll just have to come visit. Update, 7:25 p.m.: Does he look like Winston Churchill? You be the judge.

For Monica, who was, once upon a time, a high school friend; later, the only college roommate I ever liked; and now - a mother.

Aidan Scott Revor, born Tuesday, July 29. Eight pounds, two ounces. She’s home, but he’s still hanging out in the NICU until he gets some blood-sugar issues stabilized.
