Simply Curious

This being my 1,000th post, I knew I would have to have something special to write about.  It was only timing that would determine whether it would be about finishing college or the arrival of my niece.  The niece got here first!

Lauren Louiese* Bell
Born May 6 at 7:44 am
7 lbs, 10 oz, 19 inches long

Mom and daughter are doing fine.

So glad you finally joined us, Lauren!

(*Louiese is a family middle name passed down several generations, odd spelling and all.  My great-grandmother had a lot of brothers who liked to call her Louis, and she felt an extra 'e' would improve the femininity.)
