So, it has been a while since I made a post here...I guess the reason for my short abscence is very clear by now ;-)

First of all, Ron thank you very much for starting this post...you probably heard in my voice that I was very tired at that moment you had me on the phone. So, thank you for posting it at that time for me here on OTD, much appreciated!!

I was very surprised to see so much reactions. Véronique and I really appreaciate this...I even managed to get Véro behind the computer to read all these messages...and now suddenly she think's OnTheDash is indeed a great community :-)))

Séverine, our first baby, was born on monday 25th January. I remained at hospital the 7 following days and night, together with my wife and little Séverine. Very exhaustive but well worth it ofcourse.

At first I didn't plan to post any picture here but after so many requests I think this is the least I can do to thank you all...

Just some very few minutes after she was born;

After a good meal together with daddy;

Thank you all,
Véronique, Séverine & Abel.
