Grand Daughter: Samantha Moya Smith

Welcome to our family Samantha. She was born tonight at 6:58 MDT in Idaho Falls, Bonneville, Idaho to our eldest daughter Anneka and her great husband Mike. Anneka has been back at work since her week of bed rest and Lori was convinced that she wouldn't make her due date of 29 Nov. Especially since in the past week AJ has had lots of energy and has done a bunch of things around the house... Can you say: "nesting"?

This does put a bit of a twist in all the traveling that we have planned for the next month. Lori was scheduled to go down there on her due date and stay until 16 Dec(Beethoven's B-Day). Now she is leaving tomorrow and staying to the 29th...mostly because of the holiday it would have cost a fortune to come back before Thanksgiving. So, Lori and I leave tomorrow(I have a clinic in Yakutat) at 6am, then I go next week to Klawock and the kids will be orphans for a while.

Stay tuned for the further adventures of SMS!!!
