Extra, extra...

I made it! I'll let you read what Dad said about my arrival since I think he said it best in his news story for friends and family:


SEATTLE -- He's here! Finally!

Almost two weeks after his due date, Rowan Alden Miller was born at 6:15 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 21, at Swedish Medical Center.

This blond, beautiful, bruising and boisterous future financial supporter of his parents tipped the scales -- quite literally -- at 10 pounds., 1.6 ounces, and measured 21 1/4 inches.

Everything went smoothly and everyone is doing great.

Unbeknownst to his mother but much to his father's pleasure, the radio switched from Blondie's "The Tide is High" to Bill Withers' "Lean On Me" about a minute before his birth. The kid's got good taste.

Rowan will surely go on to great things, like the other giants among men born on Sept. 21: Leonard Cohen, H.G. Wells, Bill Murray, Stephen King, heck, even Larry Hagman.

We won't tell him that Darva Conger, Ricki Lake and Nicole Richie also were born on this day. He already eats more than Nicole, anyway.

Here are a few photos of our not-so-little guy!

Talk to you all soon.

Love,

Katie and Doug

Welcome to the rest of your life! As they say life begins at zero. Learn to read, be left handed and take care of your parents. I know flying cars are just around the corner for your generation ... you are one lucky kid.
