The newest member of the family burst into the world yesterday, while I was at book club*. Maria delivered a baby boy, Ethan (name to be advised) Sparey on Wednesday morning at 9.30. Maria and Lol might consider using Goliath as his middle name since he weighed in at 10 pounds 4 oz. Yes, you read correctly. Despite having the birth weight of a young hippo, I am assured he is a healthy
human baby, although Lol did add that he 'looks like a two-year-old'. Rob warned him not to take the baby home on the bus in case he was forced to pay his fare too.
No pictures yet, but we are reliably informed he has thick dark hair and resembles a young Lol with Maria's squirrel cheeks - both very useful for a British winter. Congratulations to all and cream buns all round.
* A very successful book club last night discussing the page turner The Help by Kathryn Stockett. A great long discussion that went off in all directions ensued during a spectacular Thai meal at Naomi's. Next up, Sophie's Choice.
