Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings

Responses to Gabe's arrival from friends, family, students, colleagues.

Len,
He is beautiful. Enjoy your new little boy.
Hope to see you soon.
Love,
Pam


Christina,
I wanted to take Grizz for a walk before it rained - didn't leave quite soon enough, but we didn't mind getting a bit wet - and just now read Len's blog - just wanted to tell you how beautiful, funny, hopeful his writing/reflection is - please let him know for me. Gabe's a lucky little guy to be born to you two.

Take good care.
-Heather


Congratulations!
I loved the movie, what a cutie! And, Len, I love your blog. It made me cry.

I just have to say one thing. If he had been born on Friday the 13th, it would have been OK because he would have been born on Juice Newton Day (which supercedes all the halloweeny/ghost & goulishness of Friday the 13th). :)

Good luck as new parents. I'm so happy for you!
-Katie


Congratulations mom and dad. He’s a stunner. We’re happy for the three of you.
-Thom and Jan


Very cool! Congrats. -- pd


CONGRATULATIONS! He is a darling! What a lucky baby to have you two as parents! Please call when you are in town (or passing through to Akron!) so I can meet the Mini-Cooper in person J!
All the best,
Catie & Jack


Congratulations Papa!
He's perfect! Love the blog and the video will make lil-coop's grandparents cry over and over again.
With love,
Cabe


Congratulations! You all will have a wonderful time as parents! Here's to still getting some sleep!

I can't believe that Mini-Coop got you to smile with teeth in a picture!! : D Way to go, Gabriel! Congratulations, he's such a beautiful boy. I'm sure he'll be a heart breaker someday! I can't wait to meet him in person. Enjoy your time off with "your little bundle of joy"!
-Stephanie Meyer


Awesome! You must be on cloud nine. Cloud nine-teen even! There are no greater congratulations than the ones I wish you now. He's one handsome little guy! ... He must get that from his mother... ;)
-Chris Sohl


Congratulations Dr. Cooper!!! We are soo happy for you! When we heard the news from Dr. Henson we all were estatic! I'm glad to see it will went well and everyone is healthy and happy! ;o) I hope you're soo overjoyed over your son that you will be willing to work with us on the whole podcast situation. We've all been working hard on it, but security hasn't been our friend in this whole situation so it's kind of messed up the deadline! Although, you will be proud when you hear the finished product I promise! Then ten or twelve years from now you can say, "Gabrielle, this is wonderful masterpiece that one of my classes put together all because their dad was such a wonderful and intelligent teacher who worked with them to accomplish things and didn't get upset when the goin' got tough!" haha!!!!
Congratulations again! Bring him on campus soon and take some time off, we don't mind! Just promise we'll all get A's! haha! ;O) Enjoy yourself!
-Allison


Well, what can I say... He is most def Mr. October! Congratulations, he is adorable! Listen very closely to this next part, there are going to be tons of life lessons you need to teach the mini coop along the way... the #1 thing is avoid strangers. followed closely by #2, smile with teeth. That is all I have for now, but I will get back to you with more additions to Sabrina's Guide to Parenting 101. :) Can't wait to meet him!
-Sabrina Sebastian


Congradulations Dr. Cooper!!! Love the photos. If I was a girl I'd say he looks adorable. But... alas I'm a guy, so I'll just say, he looks like a cool dude. :) See ya tomorrow.
