Early in the morning on this past Valentine's Day, Mark called and told us that his and Jenny's baby had decided to make an unexpected entrance into the world. She was born just after 1 PM, 9 weeks early. They named her Margaret Belle and plan to call her Meg. She weighed in at 3 lbs 11 ozs and will be in the hospital for a while until she puts on a few more pounds. Otherwise, she's in good health and doing well. Belle is the middle name of Jenny's mother and grandmother.

We happily welcome our second granddaughter and fifth grandchild into the family. You can get regular updates on Meg and see more pictures at this CaringBridge web site. You'll have to enter your email address before continuing to Meg's site. The WebMaster can use your address to email you when Jenny or Mark post an update.
