OK, just to make it official, we had to blogg-bragg a bit about this new little generation of Roaches we have been working on in our brief 3 years of marriage. On Wednesday, Sofia and I had our 2nd Roach kid of the (4th?) generation. As you all know, so far, these two, pictured left, are the only Roaches of their generation. Baby Elena was a trooper; born 6-14 and 19 inches, she was about 3 weeks early and needed a little jump start. But by the 48th hour, she was running like clockwork. We are now at home, where the baby is breast feeding nicely (thanks to our refusal to allow the nurses to formula feed her-- we stayed patient and worried for a while), and she and her brother are getting along just fabulously. (yea, right. I've never seen this little personality Patricio's got going on lately...but he's doing pretty well under the circumstances.) We opened a little bottle of Dom Perignon last night with the Thornhill's and Joe Bo's household to commemorate the event. Too bad for Sofia! (she took a little taste). Needless to say, we are really excited, and hope to be seeing you all very soon. bpr
