Ansel weighed 8 lb 14 oz and was born on April 24, 2013.
Of course I had to compose a fanfare for his entry into the world. Here it is on soundcloud:

I go to see every day a few sites and sites to read articles, except this blog offers quality based posts.
He is so beautiful, Congratulations to all.
Congrats to both of you. How many is this? We’re still waiting. Take care.
Hey Doug,
It’s good to hear from you. Ansel is our second grandson. The first, Charlie was born just a few months ago in December 2012.
Having grandchildren is a great experience.

Handsome young Man…Congrats to Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, & Bless little Ansel…
Thanks grandpa! I dig it!
How precocious! Only 9 days old and viewing the web and stealing his father’s e-mail address.
Thanks & congratulations Derek and Kat. We could not be prouder of Ansel and your little family in Scotland.
Love the fanfare! Quite a name. He is beautiful.
Nice fanfare.
