Jasper Rand Kaminsky

Please join me in welcoming to the world our son Jasper Rand Kaminsky, born 15 minutes after midnight on January 25, 2008. Jasper was born 20 1/4 inches long and weighing in at a hefty (for our family) 6 pounds, 13 ounces. Mother and baby are already home, and other than mom suffering from sleep deprivation as expected, everyone is doing well.

Luckily for us, Kristen's mom, "Nana" Dianne, is here helping us cope with Lili and lots of things around the house. And luckily for Nana, she was at the hospital and got to see Jasper within 5 minutes of his arrival.

A proud father

    Wow, You really did go on vacation and start a new life! Congratulations!!! He is just handsome and pink - you must be so proud. Kristen, good job. I know it is hard work. Now you have two beautiful children, just like me. My son turned 42 today - wow time flies. And my daughter Debbie will be 44 this May. That means I am OLD and just don't realize it!!! Jasper is a wonderful name for a boy born in Colorado. Love to you all, Kamama

    Ross and Kristen, he is beautiful. What a gift! Now it's up to you to give him all of the faith, hope, and love that will make him strong and help him find meaning in life. Look at how beautiful Lili has already grown to be. Keep up the good work!
