Just a quick note to update folks on the baby. He was born early Monday morning at 1am on Feb 15th – same as Hannah’s birthday! His name is Simon Walter Liddle. Walter is after his grandpa Miller, who served in the Peace Corp in Tanzania in the 1960’s and Monica just thought up Simon and it seemed perfect for him! He is 6lb 10oz and 19″ long and is healthy and well. So is Hannah and Monica is doing well too. I’ll let Monica retell the story later…Our gratitude for all the prayers and support of all our friends and family.
Wonderful news! Congratulations – and welcome to the world little Simon!!! Thinking of you and happy to hear that all of you are healthy and well. Love, The Szymczak’s
