A belated welcome to Hallie Elizabeth, born July 9th and to
Noah Patrick, born December 18th. They're the newest
buds on the family tree, with roots that are in the U.P.

Another belated welcome to my first grandchild, Devin Nathaniel, born on August 28, 2004. My second grandchild will be arriving around May 2nd. Being a grandma is so much fun!

Welcome to precious Jaden Layne who was born just three weeks ago today, on 12/11/04. She is my very first grandchild and I'm looking forward to the fun of being a grandma out here in Arizona!

Our son Lyle Dennis Paulson was born November 18 at 1:31 in the afternoon. He was 8 lbs. 5 ozs. Now six weeks later he's close to 11 pounds. He's going to be a big boy!
