Gee Whizz.
Time sure does fly.
I can remember that it was not so long ago I met this callow youth at a Washington DC GR Convention who, with his dad, had built a superb battery R/C Garden RR.
I was even addressed as Mr Walsham.

My heartiest congratulations to both Allison and Kevin on the new arrival.

Best wishes,

Tony Walsham

Kevin and Allison,

Congratulations and a hearty welcome to little Suzanna!

You've just signed on to the greatest job in the world, being parents. And congrats to the grandparents as well.

Congrats kevin, I knew you'd finally figure it out.[;)]
Say HI to the little lady for us. Your wife that is[^]

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

Congratulations and best wishes to Allison, Kevin, and the new crew member!

Like Tony, I met a considerably younger Kevin and the rest of the Strong family at that same Washington convention. I'm still in awe of that wonderful railroad the family shared with us.

Time, indeed, does fly!

CONGRADULATIONS to you all! Glad to hear all is well. If you think you are tired now....juuuuuuuust wait. Once you get over being tired you spend the remainder of your life wondering and worrying about them. But it's all good! Enjoy your gift from above. Later eh...Brian.

Thanks, you all! It's been a crazy week, and quite a blur. Thank goodness for digital cameras, or I don't know that I'd actually remember much of it at all.



Here's a photo of Suzanna Corinne, lying on her proud dad's lap while he attempts to wade through his very neglected e-mail, and send the latest pics to all the relatives.

We're still a bit sleep deprived on this end, but that's par for the course. You would think that with an infant who spends 20 hours a day sleeping, that the parents would be able to find 8 hours in there somewhere. Evidently not...

Later,

K

Congratulations Allison and Kevin! Enjoy Suzanna while you can. It seems like the diaper stage will last forever. But one day it will be over and you'll swear that its only the next day that your walking her down the aisle.
