Grandchild

Our daughter Maya finally gave birth, 8 days late, to a beautiful girl called Fiona Cloud Strom Sedita. She has a full head of black hair, like her Dad, and is totally perfect in every way. Maya and Jeremy are thrilled and severely sleep deprived. Their world revolves around Fiona, as it should.

Fiona was born on March 20th which is the first day of spring, an auspicious day for a birth. March 20th is also the birthday of my father-in-law Jim. One of our innkeepers Jennifer, who is a sewing wizz, made a gorgeous blanket for Fiona and to complete the coincidence, the 20th is also Jen's birthday. All this bodes well for a wonderful life but it will be hard for her to miss with such great parents - and grandparents.
