Caleb's (Girl)Friend

Today we welcome to the world Caleb's newest friend, Leslie Jo:


Leslie Jo is the daughter of our good friends Steve and Tina. She was born last night, October 20th, at 7:56 pm. She weighed in at 6 lbs. 15 oz. and was 20 inches long.

We didn't know she was a girl until she got here, but I think it's safe to say that her relationship with Caleb has been arranged for quite a while, at least as far as the Moms are concerned.

So, congratulations, Tina and Steve, on your beautiful little girl.
