Joy-Joann comes to the world....

Joy-Joann Caffe was born on September 15, 2008 at 10:14 a.m. (CEST - Central European Summer Time). She bounced the scales at 3,710 grams ( 8 lbs. 4 oz.) and was 53 cm long (about 21 inches). She was born at the hospital in Weinheim, Germany, about 15 Km (10 miles) from our house. Both the mother and baby are doing well and should be coming home tomorrow (Sept. 20th).

Naturally with all the excitement about the new arrival, we took a lot of pictures. Unfortunately, I have not yet found the time to publish them in the internet, but will be doing in the coming days (or weeks). For the impatient, I have published two posters containing most of the pictures that will appear on the website. These are




Day 1 with Joy-Joann, Anja, Vera, Annabella, Grandma Irmgard and Aunt Claudia. If you would like to download this in PDF-Format, permitting it to be printed in different sizes, just click here.

Once Anja and Joy-Joann are home, we will update a few pictures more.
