SENIOR MOMENT UPDATE

A BIG THANK YOU!!! I wanted to convey a great big thank you for the cards and warm wishes during my maternity leave. Victor Daniel Hilbert was born Aug. 5, 2010 at 7:37 a.m. He was 9 lbs. 5 oz and 20 inches long. He was a healthy, happy baby boy and both Tom and I are so blessed to have him in our lives.
