Here he is


I don't think any of the adults in our travel group managed more than an hour or two of sleep last night. We headed off for Langson at 10:45AM this morning, and we were on the road about 10 mins when travel sickness kicked in for me. I spent the whole of the journey lying on the back seat begging my breakfast to stay where it was. We got to meet Daniel for the first time at about 1;30PM. He was the last of the seven babies to be brought into the room, but as you can see he was worth the wait. Grace was running around telling everyone that she had a "brudder". He weights 7.1 kgs and seems to be a really heathy, happy baby. We got to spend an hour with him before he was taken away for his nap. Our second visit is scheduled for Friday so at least we don't have to wait too long before we get to see him again.

Guys,

He is GORGEOUS. Such a handsome little boy. We love the first family photo!

Sorry to hear about the travel sickness. Try sitting in the front seat on friday, as the back of the bus is definately the bumpiest.
Great to hear the second visit is friday. Hopefully the G&R might be monday or wednesday next week.

Congrats again.

Sonia, Dave, Gennie and Kai.

Hi happy family,
great to see you as 4some. Sorry to hear about your sickness but Sonia is right the front seats are better for this.
Hope you have a nice day tomorrow to see some places and have a good visit again on friday and we are looking forward to see more of him. Samuel was delighted for Grace to have a lovely brother like Daniel.
God bless
