Hey all....I have been able to get some photos uploaded for those who are interested in seeing them :-)

And far be it from me to not share this picture of the princess of our family :-) Already she has been incredibly enthusiastic and very helpful to her Mama.

Thanks to all of you for the outpouring of congratulations and well wishes.
It's nice to know that a traditional garment/way of life involving so much leather, wool and single malt can result in such a caring and friendly organization.

Anyways, many thanks once again to all of you for all the kind words and well wishes.

Ohh by the way....Does anyone know of a tartan somehow associated with Rio De Janeiro or Brazil??? If not I might have to come up with something of my own :-)

Take care everyone

Iain

Hi, Iain – no Brazilian district tartans at all, as far as I have been able to determine. So knock yourself out – design a Carioca tartan!
Your daughter is a real cutie. But helping mom with the baby is more important than her looks right now. ;-)
Regards,
Mike

Well....my first thought is an Emerald green background with gold and blue stripes...just like the colors of the Brasil Flag.
I'm picturing something that looks quite similar to the Irish National Tartan

Small correction: I initially wrote no Brazilian tartans at all, but I notice that the Brazilian family surnamed Souza Nery has one. But, yes, a Brazilian national tartan is an excellent idea.
