Our announcement (last week) of the birth of our son...

(For the archives -- this is what we sent last week in a mass email)

Dear family and friends and colleagues:

With tremendous awe of God and deep appreciation for the wonder of the human body, and with abundant gratitude for all of our friends, family members, and the talented and dedicated staff at Evanston Hospital, tonight we welcomed our son into the world.

Baby Boy Sufrin Simon arrived at 7:02 p.m. on March 23, 2011 (17 Adar 5761). He is 20.25 inches long and weighs 8 pounds 1 ounce.

Our family of three is healthy and doing wonderfully well!

Mazal tov!

With love,

Michael, Claire, and Baby Boy Sufrin Simon
