Baby Girl Arrives Safe and Sound!
I am so proud to announce the arrival of our precious daughter "Leela Alma-Rose" on November 20th, 2008. 8lbs 2oz & 23". Peter and I are so blessed to have her. She is a true joy! She is demonstrating good lungs so I think we may have a future songstress on our hands. Thanks to the bluegrass community for all your well wishes!
