Cyrus Robert Depp Joins Our Family!

It was 10am on a Sunday morning, May 17th in the huge

city of Istanbul, Turkey, when a mother, father, grandmother

and grandfather traveled a few blocks away to the local

hospital in the region of Acibadem. Their goal that day

was to welcome into the world a little baby boy. The

mother was anxious and very large. They were all very

happy that the delivery date had arrived.

Things were going rather slowly that day for the baby's

delivery. Kit and Mary Ann walked up the street and had

lunch sitting outside at a KFC...Yes, it was really The

Colonel's chicken restaurant!

We waited all day and many hours during the evening.

Finally at 11:06 pm, Cyrus Robert Depp arrived to become

the youngest member of our family. He weighed in at

9 lbs. 1 oz and was 20 in. long. We knew that he was going

to be a big boy, but not that big! Cyrus and Jenny had a

long, hard day, but finally the joy did arrive!

Look at that head of black hair!

Such a sweet little lamb!

brother, Cyrus, for the first time on Monday. Here is
