No, I have not been assassinated by radical fashion police, just too busy to blog, think or, often enough, eat over the past weeks. But my partner and I are elated - though sleepily so - to announce the birth of our daughter, Matilda Rose, at 8:28 PM on Tuesday, January 1st, 2008. Weighing in at 7.7 pounds and 20.5 inches, she has dad's hair (though to my extreme jealousy, she has more of it) and mom's pretty face and is perfect in every possible way. The little one has been an absolute dream baby and is wonderfully content to eat, sleep, poop, cuddle and coo all the live-long day. And just because all parents say it, doesn't mean she actually isn't the most precious little angel ever born!
For any of you who still bother to pop in once in a while even without the benefit of new posting, I've set up a public photo album on the web. You can see pictures of my little gurlie by visiting http://www.zooomr.com/photos/daverth/sets/ [1]
And, while posting may be light for the time being, rest assured I have been working on a project that will make the wait between posts (a torture akin to waterboarding, I know) all the more worthwhile!

Re: Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Matilda Rose!
Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express. --Joseph Addison
Not a day goes by that I'm not grateful for my daughter.
