Something Wonderful

[garunya]

Malcolm Pham Miller, born 4:35pm, 28th December 2009, 3.8 kg (about 8.4lb) and very healthy. People are saying he looks like his grandad (my dad), which may be true, though I think he definitely has Nhu's nose. He's an adorable little thing, and we're really... looking forward to all the wonderful times ahead :)

Coincidentally, just clearing out his room in preparation for his arrival back home, and the only book in there, which I read before even coming to Vietnam, was your Goblin Quest ;)

Mazel tov! I had a feeling this might be your news :)

[garunya]

wow, well i guess thats why you havent, or wont be updating that often..mozel tov!

[garunya]

Well, that's one reason, although I mainly blame Facebook, as I tend to post there a lot more often nowadays (and usually more inconsequentially too)

But you've friended me there now anyway so you'll hear more from me ;)

Happy Birthday, baby Malcolm!!!

Ok, did you name him after Mal from Firefly? You can deny it, but I won't believe you. ;)

He is so gorgeous! Nhu is like a goddess! And you, my darling, are RADIANT! I'm so happy for you. Weeeeeeee!!!

Thanks, Terri :)

Actually, I wanted a nice Scottish name for him, and I thought that was by far the nicest :) I'm honestly not enough of a Firefly fan to name him after Mr. Reynolds, though he's not such a bad namesake ;)

On the other hand, some of my friends at work are unconvinced that his middle name is not a reference to our popular drinking area (Pham Ngu Lao, usually shortened to Pham by the westerners.) However, it's also Nhu's father's family name.

Ok, I suppose I'll have to buy the whole Scottish thing. ;)
