# The ACAP Secretariat is pleased to announce the safe arrival of its second and third ACAP babies

The ACAP family continues to grow!

 Lucy Gwenneth Finley was born  at 2:24 pm weighing 3.6 kg (8 lb 5 oz) on 2 April 2012 to Luke Finley (ACAP Web Administrator) and Gill Slocum in Hobart, Australia.

 Only a day later in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, Gavin Koa VanderWerf was born to Lindsay Young (ACAP North Pacific News Correspondent) and Eric VanderWerf on 3 April.  Gavin arrived at 8:03 pm weighing 7 lbs 11 oz (3.2 kg).  Lindsay and Eric's first born, Robin, (ACAP's first baby) was born in June 2010 ([click here](https://www.acap.aq/2010-news-archive/the-acap-secretariat-family-expands)) and so now has a brother.

 The ACAP Secretariat joins together in wishing the proud parents all the best.
