New Arrival

It is with great pleasure that Dot and I announce the arrival of our second grand-child, Ella Castle, born on 30 May at 8.25 pm Santa Clara (California) time or 31 May at 1.25pm Eastern Standard Time (Australia) or 4.25am UK Summer Time.

I have just talked with Emily and Greg by phone and the baby is doing fine. She was 4lb 9 oz (or 2.055 kg) at birth, 18" long (45.7 cm) and, in Emily's word, beautiful. I believe that she was delivered by Cesarean Section, but that is still to be confirmed. Emily was tired and a little sedated, of course, but still lucid and very happy. Ella required no specialist medical treatment and was sleeping alongside.

More details, including pictures, will come soon. So, we were spared a fourth June birthday celebration! I, Max and Dot's brother, Dick, are the others.
