Hello everyone, please join me in welcoming the latest addition to the Tsoi family: Rachael Lynn Tsoi Wai-Yan, born Tuesday March 1st at 1:14 am! Rachael is a very healthy 7 lbs 5.4 oz, and true to her stubborn form (from off-and-on labor for the past five days), was delivered literally kicking and screaming at full volume - she's definitely the loudest Tsoi baby to date!

Both mother and baby are resting and doing very well - the father is much more stressed, but of course happy and tired as well. I'm heading back to the hospital right now - we've spent the last five days dragging Mama 'Nole through the woods to loads of caches, and even made the pilgrimage to the Twine Ball, but in the end the baby came when she darn well wanted to. Smile

Many thanks to everyone for all of your well-wishes and support through all of this - we sure appreciate it, and can't thank you enough. Pictures are available through the links below - take care and see y'all soon!

On behalf of Rachael Lynn,

-Kenneth Tsoi Wai-Kin
-Ann Marie Tsoi ("AMA")
-Megan Tsoi Mei-Yan
-Ryan Tsoi Lon-Yan
-Jordan Tsoi Jen-Yan

I would like to congradulate you on your new "Bundle of joy" Hope things go good and your new daughter soon sleeps through the night. Just think, in a couple of years you may have another caching companion.

Do we get cigars as honorary family members? lol

Your new neighbors,

LOL as always, big thanks to everyone for the congrats and well-wishes, we do appreciate it and the posts here always make me laugh. Some quick replies then:

Everyone: THANKS again, and hope to see ya on the trails soon!!

Moe: There is?? (Blame rickrich!!) Wink

Minnesota: Hey, now you know why we couldn't quite catch up with ya - we had kids and a pregnant mother in tow each time! Wink

Still need to plan that caching excursion tho, you're right - sure would save on gas!

TD: Thanks! And just so you know, AMA did give me another "get out of the hospital free" pass...just long enough to grab Moving 123. So if we're still here, count me in!

Pogopod: Out of all the e-mails and messages we received, yours was our favorite! Smile

Arctic: Well, we'll have to see. She's the only 'Noles baby not to make the trip to Tallahassee yet, but we hope to correct that soon enough. For now, we just hope to keep her the sweet baby she is after just one day - below is her darling sister...as you can see, we have our work cut out for us. Wink

Thanks again to everyone, and best regards!!

Hay I posted this AM and it didn't arrive. I blame Kitch.

So I repeat.

Congratulations on the most excellent FTF.

Then I agree with Kitch, this should be added to the Geo Addict's T-shirt. The fsu*Noles clause.
