Sweetness, Multiplied

Ripley, the latest love of my life

I know, it looks like I dug up an old photo of Ginny and stubbed it in here, doesn’t it?  That’s partly exacerbated by the fact that that’s the blanket Ginny was wrapped in the day she was born.  We brought it with us from the Philippines for sentimental reasons, and I thought it’d be cool to have her little sister wrapped in it too.  The staff in the nursery just thought we were cheap, though, as most of the mommies provided fancy-schmancy fleecy blankets for their babies.

Anyway, Code Name Agnes has finally arrived, and we’ve been using the codename so long we’re having trouble switching, but her name is Ripley.  Before y’all get all “Oh, like the Sigourney Weaver character in Alien!!!” on me, understand that it’s a family name from Lisa’s side – her Dad’s middle name is Ripley, and we thought combined with a girly middle name it’d be pretty cool.  We’re pleased with how it sounds, and she’s as darling and captivating as her big sister.  We’re looking forward to introducing the two girls to each other, maybe tomorrow.

For now, baby and Mama are resting comfortably, and Dad’s so jazzed he’s staying up all night typing on the computer.

Love to y’all, from the now fully-expanded family!!
