I got an email from Son Adam at 8:33 a.m. Friday: “We are at the hospital.”
That was followed by a Facebook announcement from Carly Steinhoff: “We would like to introduce Finn Levi Steinhoff. Born at 12:59 p.m., 7 lbs 9 oz, 20″. {Swoon}”
Gosh, those things are tiny
You forget how small those babies are (Carly might differ). It doesn’t take long for them to grow up, though. Sarah Steinhoff posted a photo that shows that Wife Lila is now shorter than Grandson Malcolm.
We’re an “L” of a family
Through accident and design, we are a family with lots of L middle names. My brothers and I are Kenneth Lee, David Louis and Mark Lynn.
Our boys are Matthew Louis and Adam Lynn. The grandsons are Malcolm Lee, Graham Louis, Elliot Lane and, now, Finn Levi.
Finn’s brothers Graham and Elliot (left and right) and Cousin Malcolm in the middle (isn’t there a TV show by that name) celebrate Birthday Zero.
I’m in Cape, so it’ll be awhile before I meet Finn in person, but I was able to break the news to Mother that she had another great-grandson. That almost made up for it.
Congrats to all!
Congrats on the new son, grandson, and great grandson! You are all blessed!! 🙂
April 24 is a popular day to be born into our family. It is also my daughter Sarah’s Birthday as well as my grand daughter Jensen’s birthday. Welcome to the family, Finn.
Congrats. on your new grandson. Since this is about your family maybe. Is Vera Steinhoff with whom I graduated from CHS in 1947 related to you? If so is she still living and where?
George,
Dad was Louis Vera Steinhoff, but he was Central High School class of 1934, so your Vera isn’t part of our branch of Steinhoffs so far as I know.
Congrats GrandPop!
Congrats to all to involved…
Thanks for the info Ken.
Ken,
What am I doing wrong when I can only see comment #1? I’ve refreshed the browser but I’m on my Samsung Note. Is being on my cell possibly the problem?
Dorothy,
I’d love to say you are doing something wrong, but the problem is somewhere between the site and your browser. On a PC, it’s usually pretty easy: you just press Ctrl-F5 and that flushes the browser cache (or wakes up the hamster. I get those things confused).
Since more and more people are reading the blog on portable devices, I guess I’m going to have to figure out how to do it on phones and tablets.
