not just another "new arrival"
it's a boy! oh wait, we already new that. maria had our first, ben otto owen, on saturday jan 25 at 5:25 am. he was 7 lbs 10 ounces and almost 22 inches long. the birth was relatively easy: now comes the hard part. we came home monday mid-day and are overwhelmed and tired, but of course happy. amazingly, we have found he likes just a tad of robusta blended into his milk (better foam) and takes formula off a cupping spoon! (uh, not)

Maria and Thom,
Congratulations!
Kids are wonderful reminders on just how old we are getting!
My 21 year old daughter, Jill, and my 18 year old son, Douglas are the best "gifts" I have ever received.
Enjoy little Ben's early years, once they start crawling about, looking for new places to go, it gets harder to keep up with them! (We have found cell phones to be excellent tracking devices, BTW ;-)

Congratulations! He is so
Congratulations! He is so beautiful. Babies and coffee go hand in hand to me, since it was the birth of my son 3 years ago that led me to discover this wonderful hobby of home roasting! Our regular middle of the night feedings sessions were followed by web browsing (to ensure that he really was asleep!) Enjoy your treasure, and the great blessing of parenting.
OMG!!! What a wonderful

I think he is beautiful. I
I think he is beautiful. I was raised with coffee from about 8 or 9 months. My Dad took me to work with him every day. I got a tad of coffee and cream and sugar. I remember getting in trouble at Catholic school because I had coffee in my thermos.
Enjoy every minute you can with him they grow so fast.

Remember to Sleep when you can ou two--you thought you knew what it was like: but the first three months you may decide that you really have not been so sleep deprived in all your life. It is totally worth it though in every imaginable way.

What a great little guy. Those pictures of Ben Otto are great!!
Are the expressions a predictor of a future cup-of-excellence
taster? A little slosh, then a pucker on a sour note followed by
some waiting for the subtle chocolate tones, hmmmmm.
Finally the Ho-Hum yawn produced by a mediocre low altitude bean.
Next cup please.
All the best to the three of you from a Clay Street day-time neighbor.
Thanks so much all! Mark -

I'm so glad everything went well.
Love the name. He's adorable.
Now that the birth is over and all went well, I will send you the present Ezekiel bought for you. My husband wouldn't let me send it before the birth because he thought it was too "spooky".
Best to you both. Love, Wendy

Well Congratulations!
Just a word of warning on the coffee...
My grandmother fed me coffee when I was a wee lad of less than 1. She gave me heavily creamed and sugared coffee.
Many years later, I have turned into a coffee fiend. Coffee is probably my favorite 'flavor'.
Favorite ice cream? Coffee Blast from Double Rainbow
Favorite drink? Coffee, almost anything not French roasted or worse.
Once again, congrats. SO is he a full city roast? City plus?
Congratulations to both, um,
Congratulations to both, um, all three, of you!
Now your lives will change, not subtly, and forever. But that's a *good* thing.
All the best to all of you.

First of all, congrats, Maria and Tom!!! Woooooooo!
Second of all, uncanny. Your baby was born only about 45 minutes after I was... but about some thirty ^%$#@ years later! I was born on a fine blistery Jan. 25, at 4:40am, many, many moons ago :)
Well, at the very least, I'll definitely remember Ben's birthday!
Congratulations to both of you! Life's about to get REALLY interesting! :D :D :D :D :D :D
