Babies and Vacations

I've been sorely remiss in posting this one: Eric Rutkoske and his wife Cindy had a baby girl on February 23, 2007. Her name is Lauren Elisabeth Rutkoske, and she weighed in at 8 lbs, 14 oz., and 21 inches long. Congratulations to Eric, Cindy, and big brother Luke!

In more up to date baby news, Sarah Freitas and Josh Waldman welcomed Amelia Ruth Waldman on May 14, 2007 at 9:30pm. Amelia was 7 pounds 1 ounce and 19 3/4 inches long.  Baby and both parents are doing well.

And finally, in an interesting, if somewhat cryptic, note, John Beaglehole indicates that he is leaving the Policy Advisory Group and heading out on vacation at the beginning of June - not to return to New Zealand until November! No indication of what he's doing, but when the man says he needs a break, he seems to mean it!
