i got a lovely email from sandy the other day: it had baby pictures! zachary kevin lay was born march 06. he is adorable and sandy looks -so- happy. i can hardly wait to meet her new family when i visit colorado this year. (um, whenever that might be. it depends on the census, who tells me they'll be hiring in april and people will be working in may.) before her baby had a name she was calling him "button," so i got them a framed quilted piece with a button on it. welcome to the world, zach! may you be blessed with kindness, courage, curiosity and creativity.
Comments:
Yeah, "Button" it was. Mary and I were sweating (vicariously) through her delivery. We visited yesterday, and Zach is looking fine, whereas when we first saw him, at about three days, he was still a little jaundiced.
