Just wanted to let you all know that Baby Brinn (aka Ian) entered the world on January 15th at 3:15 PM. He is healthy and hearty weighing in at a whopping 9 lbs 4 oz and 21 inches long.
Now.....Must get...Sleep.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.John Stuart Mill
Way to go Brinn - Congrats!!!!!
You could have had Mrs Brinn hold off a week or so the child could be born on a truly special day - MY BIRTHDAY (the 27th)
Best wishes to you & your family!!

Another Haruchai! Well, if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em! Major congrats Brinn--or is it Brinn Senior now?! Welcome to the world Ian, future Covenant fan!

The short sentence above is Baby Brinn's first official post (He's laying in my lap as I type!). Looks like dad is going to have work on spelling and proper punctuation but take it for what it's worth. I think he's either saying hello or he wants to rehash the whole rape of Lena thing!

Best wishes to you and Mrs. Brinn!! May he bring you great joy!!
My brother wrote this the day my daughter, Chelsea, was born...Now I send it on to Baby Ian...
Breath of life inhaled, a fanfare of angel-song
proclaims your coming, the beginning moments of you.
God’s gracious gift. How precious you are!
My soul rejoices, carols its welcome to yours,
My heart dances to your sweet music.
You hold all the secrets within you.
Light of heaven aglow with the nimbus
Of joy you evoke to enshroud us,
Affirm us, bring us hope.
--Stephen C. McKinney
Congratulations!!!
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.
~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~
~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner
I believe I have said congrats in another thread, but I'll say it again... CONGRATS!!! And get Ian reading the Chronicles as soon as possible... though I am aware he is only a couple of weeks old... but what's stopping you?
