Cousins!

Strength in Arms!

Well my brother and his wife have made the Armstrong clan proud by giving birth to a son who will carry on the family name.

Kieran Alexander Armstrong arrived promptly on his due date - July 31, 2008 - at reasonable daylight hour - 1:35 pm and it appeared to be an easy delivery since Niki was walking the halls talking and smiling at 8 cm.

Kieran - in case you are wondering - is a Gaelic name meaning "little dark one" and is pronounce (KEER ahn). And, true to form, this little one came out with a head full of dark hair - only he wasn't so little: He weighed in at 8 lb 7 oz and 21 inches. I'm thinking that Niki's probably back to normal since she was ALL belly. To follow along with their parenting adventures, check out their website: http://sfarmstrongs.blogspot.com.

Gracie Ella Guzzetta
Cousin Gracie joined the family on Scott's side June 17. She weighed a whopping 9 plus pounds and kept her mother in labor for some 24 hours before an emergency C-section was performed. But she was quickly forgiven - see how cute she is!!
