Flynn & Friends

From FF&F
FLYNN IS GOING to be one rad lass with such a talented bunch of Brooklyn and Manhattan buddies eager to teach her their trade. According to John she has perfect hands for playing the bass. Dave vows to have her crisping bacon to perfection by 2 years of age. And Robyn's going to help her prove the Flynn Effect is not just a theory. That's our girl!

The Coolmas Meet Flynn

From Omi and Ami

From Omi and Ami
WE WERE THRILLED to bits (and bloody relieved!) when Omi and Ami made surprise visits from Seattle and London to meet their first grand child and see how the new 'rents were fairing. Thanks to them we are fully kitted out with "stuff" (stroller, rocker, curtains, porch plants, clothes, you name it) and a heck of a lot more rested than we would have been without their help in the kitchen and scoldings to, "Go take a nap NOW!" Omi will be back with Auntie Jadey this Saturday for 10 days to help Mum transition when Dad heads back to work (boooo) and Ami has been instructed to drag Grandpa David, Auntie Sarah and Funkle Will out for a visit in July—if not sooner. :)

Flynn McKinley Dillahunt

From Flynn McKinle...
FLYNN McKINLEY DILLAHUNT came into this world on May 15th at 11:47PM in a hurry. In the words of the midwife, "She almost bounced off the bed." The wee 'lil fightin' Irish bonny lass weighed in at 7lbs. 15 ozs. and measured a lanky 21 3/4". So far she's knocked out everyone she's come into contact with. She likes Bob Marley and Ella Fitzgerald, but has yet to develop a taste for German techno. She's on the fence about French house music, but definitely likes disco. Her favorite words are, "Breeeeemp" and "AAAAHHHHHHH!"

Mum and dad are doing fine, apart from having contracted a serious case of baby-crazy; "You pooped. How cute!" Natasha was a champion during the labor (from now on to be referred to as 'fun') and managed to evict 'lil Flynn in under 24 hours. The birth crew—Team Little D—rocked the house. Thank you Joan, Madeleine, Sally and Tess. Midwives, their assistants, doulas and acupuncturists are better than ice cream. You put the fun back in 'fun.'

And again, thank you to our amazing family and friends for the incredible outpour of love and support. Flynn is a very lucky lass, indeed.

Our Little Schnoo

From Little Schnoo

She was born at home just before midnight on Thursday, May 15, weighing in at 7 lbs 15 ounces and measuring 22 inches. As of yet she is unnamed, but we're very close... promise. Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming love and support. We'll write more later, but for now we're too busy falling in love. Enjoy the pics. xo
