My latest miniature: baby Rochelle!



I've been working on this one for a while now... and this sculpt came out larger than anticipated!

Miniature jokes aside, my wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl at 6:53 AM this morning at our local hospital. She was a bit bigger than we had guessed she would be, weighing in at 9 lbs, 6 oz.! She is much larger than our son was when he was born (8 lbs, 12.5 oz.) and she appears to be healthy! A proud dad can't ask for much more!

The way labor started was kinda funny, in an ironic kind of way. I had packed up 1500 points of Blood Angels successors and gone to the next town for a 4 player game: three 1500 point players vs. a 4500 point Eldar player. We had spent the better part of 2.5 hours setting up the board, fixing the lists, and deploying the units. I literally had just finished the last model of my first movement phase when my cell phone started blowing up with my house number on it. My wife was frantic, due in large part to her contractions being every 5 minutes or less, and demanded that I rush home immediately. So I did. About 12 hours later, Rochelle made her debut.

So... we're tired but proud parents of another beautiful baby. We'll be held here for another day or two, so don't expect many projects to get accomplished until we get back home and settled down!

So thank you, Mrs. Foxphoenix, for giving me the best gift a daddy can ask for.

Until next time,

    Congrats dude! Good thing she's bigger than what you expected. That means she'll be able to reach the board and play at an earlier age!

    Congratulations. She's a healthy sized little girl! Both of your kids have been quite big then. My boy was 8lbs and my daughter 8lbs 5oz, it seems the girls quite often are bigger than their brothers! Anyway, congratulations again :D
