For those who don't know, Alina is a Romanian name and actually a Romanian verb too! "A alina" means "to comfort," "to soothe," "to care for," or "to succor."
Rachelle is the name of her Daddy's Mother. She always wanted a girl, and only had us 3 goofy boys, so we decided that she is part hers too.
8lbs. 11 oz., 20 and 1/2 inches long. And a head full of dark, gorgeous curly hair. Hurray!What a gorgeous girl!
Here's Dr. Tchabo... man is he awesome!
Here's Mommy and Baby Alina, right after delivery. Look at those gorgeous, happy girls!
Baby Alina Rachelle Castor said hello to the world at 5:30, on April 23, 2009! What a great day, it's Shakespeare's birthday! Here are some quick pictures... we'll get more to you asap, I promise...
Here we are waiting for the C-section! Peter is not too happy... :( Don't worry. He cheers up. He doesn't realize yet that he's being demoted from "King" to "Prince." (Analogy courtesy of Joan Vorasi at Catholic, thanks Joan!)
Yeah, the happy Dadio... Annalise hates it when I take these pictures... but it's tradition. Grin.
Here's Zan, the Super, Supreme Grandma, loving that baby girl!
And here's some video...Mommy joking with Daddy and smiling...
