welcome baby!

i have a new nephew. my sister alison and her husband had a new baby a few days ago. he was born at 4:07 am, pst, on 25 february 2006. ken and alison have named him shawn timothy marshall. he weighed in at 8 pounds, and is 20 inches long, so i am told. i haven't seen a picture yet, but i will be sure to share when i do.

so, jazmine has a new baby brother. here's her picture. i took this last october when i was home and alison and jazmine visited cincinnati. i think she has pumpkin all over her face, or perhaps it is carrot. either way, she is a terribly cute little girl, and very pleasant to be around. i look forward to getting to know her a lot better when i am not several thousand miles away. yes, this is one of the difficult things about living in china.

congratulations alison, ken and jazmine!

Hi Duff and Kate,

Congrats on the new nephew and the great trip to India. I am Katie's Mom #2 and Lindsay's Mom. I understand they are going to visit you in China so I thought I'd better catch up on your blog. It sounds like you will be able to give them a great glimpse of China, with a little local flavor.
Have a wonderful semester and I look forward to reading more.
Linda

Kate, It's not every nephew whose aunt announces his arrival from deep in the Chinese interior, nor is it every niece whose aunt publishes her picture on a blog that also discusses exotic adventures overseas...lucky children. Great message and wonderful photo.
