Zachary: One week!

Well, one week in, and its been full. Lots of friends and family to around to share in the joy of our newest family member. Our little family has grown a bit and it feels like it's just right.

Otter has met some important folks and still has many to meet.

Sid has been navigating the change with a sort of grace that is enviable to me. Not to say it all has been easy, but it's been sweet to watch her embrace her new baby brother. And to top it off, as a side benefit Sid had her cousins in the house- let the wild rumpus begin!

Welcome Little Zachary

It's been an action packed couple of days for the Epstein's and their new, little addition; Zachary Sutter Epstein, aka 'Otter' Born right on schedule December 5th, 2012, 7lbs 14oz. Otter swam out into the world, brave, strong and vocal. After months of squirmy, late night kick parties Zachary is able hold his head up and look around. And so strong he can arm wrestle his papa to a stalemate (ok, maybe I shouldn't admit a newborn can arm wrestle me). Boy does he have a set of pipes! -J

Baby on the way

At this point, the cart has come before the horse, but in anticipation of Zachary's arrival we snapped a couple of pics of Dorothy in all her pregnant glory. We took these Tuesday night...Before we knew what lay ahead for that evening. That's reporting folks. - J
