Joakim Pacheco Rose

November 17th, 2006

Yesterday, November 16th, 2006 at 7:30 in the morning, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, next to the ocean; Joakim Pacheco Rose was born to two very very lucky people.

After a long labor, he came into the world weighing 8 lbs., 9 ounces and measuring 20 inches long - exactly the same as his father did. His mother is recovering beautifully and was a champion in labor. Tomorrow morning the whole family comes home and we’d love to hear from you. We are indescribably thankful for all of your thoughts, prayers, gifts, visits, cards, comments, smiles, hugs, calls, emails, text messages and previously unmentioned well wishin’.

More on the name Joakim later… if you were wondering.

    This is one beautiful baby. Truly a bit of heaven has come into your life. Congratulations to you both and to Joakim for coming to two such wonderful parents.

    I could not help remembering Wordworth’s lines:

    Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
    The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star,
    Hath had elsewhere its setting,
    And cometh from afar:
    Not in entire forgetfulness,
    And not in utter nakedness,
    But trailing clouds of glory do we come
    From God, who is our home:

    William Wordsworth
    “Intimations of Immortality”
    1807
