Holden Video

I have a quick video of Holden you can view -

Holden Alexander Appell

His name is officially Holden (Meaning "kind") Alexander (Meaning "defender of mankind") Appell (Which is close to the French appeler for "to call").

I uploaded a few more pictures - click here.

Tap Dancing

In all the excitement of a new baby, life goes on - Grace is taking a tap dance class on Thursday mornings (a gift from Grandad Bill). This is her new dance dress and new tap shoes.

The new baby boy Appell was born yesterday at 7:54am at the University of Washington Medial Center - 6lb, 5-1/2 oz, 19 inches. Premature, but healthy. I'll be posting pictures here:
