ANNOUNCING THE NEW ARRIVAL!

 

He`s here!  

Jim and I are very proud to announce the birth of our darling grandson

ROMAN JAMES VASSILYEV

He was born yesterday at 11.06am.  He weighs 7lbs. 12ozs and he is absolutely gorgeous.  Kerry is doing well despite being in a lot of discomfort.  The hospital and staff are terrific and none of us can fault them.  Kerry told me that Slava was wonderful throughout and he can`t stop looking at his new son.  I`ll be back at the hospital this afternoon and will keep you updated on the progress of them all.  I will leave you with a couple more photos.

                                            

                                      

I also have to announce that Jen guessed the date of Roman`s birth correctly.  Why not visit her and congratulate her for getting it right!

OH! I just knew that was going to happen when you stated in your journal on Wed. that you would have a busy day yesterday. What a busy day that was too.
Such a good looking little gentleman Roman is and the pictures of you and Jim with those big smile are precious. God bless all of you. Helen

Congratulations Jim & Sandra !  The fun is just beginning...It reminds me of April 19th, 1991 when my daughter Jools gave birth to my first grandchild (also a boy & also a C-section).  Best wishes to Kerry & Slava, too.  And welcome to baby Roman, may peace come to our world so you can grow up happy and terror free.
