James Gareth Bowen



Here is Jen just after giving birth last night and also a photo of Aunty El when we got home at around 12:30am...thanks for staying up and waiting for us chick. The labour went according to plan. James was born on Lauren and Chris' wedding anniversary and Thomas was born on Laurens birthday......Thomas seems chuffed with his little bro at the moment so all well at home on day 1...so far so good....just waiting for the midwife visit.

Welcome to the world little James - wow, but your mom is a machine! Congrats to you all Jen, Dan and Thomas - wish we were closer to meet the little guy in person! But we send all our love and best wishes! Love Chris, La and Matthew xx

ps James - the 26th - what a great day: a few events that fall on that date
1. Your birthday
2. The day the Proteas beat the Aussies and clinched a series win ON Australia day (ouch)
3. Your friend in SA - Matthew -started school!
4. It marks the 500 days to go until the World Cup 2010 in SA (your moms birth country)
5. Your aunty La and uncle Chris' wedding anniversary
6. And lastly one from the history books - 1905: Largest diamond found
At a mine in Pretoria, South Africa, a 3,106-carat diamond is discovered during a routine inspection by the mine's superintendent. Christened the Cullinan, it was the largest diamond crystal ever found and was later cut into 106 polished diamonds, together valued at millions of dollars.

Sheew - good day to decide to arrive on little man xxx
