Visiting Hours Update-

Didn't realize Seahawks game tomorrow at conflicting time slot- will reschedule visitor hours potentially for next weekend!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes :)

We are so excited to have such a beautiful healthy baby. Parenthood and labor have been extremely exhausting, emotional and overwhelming, more so than I ever could have prepared for so I appreciate all the messages and also everyone understanding that I haven't been able to respond! 

We are taking it hour by hour at the moment, but will hopefully be ready for visitors soon (and will let everyone know) once we recover and get in the swing of things a bit. 

Not sure if my mom sent her "birth stats" :)  

Aria Noel Otterstetter, 6lbs 14oz, born at 4:03pm on 11/11/16

Middle name is tribute to Jeff's late uncle Leon (spelled backwards) who did not get a chance to meet her but predicted she would be a girl. She is also our close to Christmas baby! 

Congratulations to John and Ruth who correctly guessed the date!! Aria will be very excited to meet all of you! 

Welcome Baby Aria! And much more!

Congratulations, Jeff and Rachel on the birth of your daughter. She is beautiful and has lots of love and support in her life. We look forward to meeting her! We are proud of you!!

Also, congratulations, Grandpa, on a successful, thoughtful and newsworthy Veterans Day speech!  Please upload a copy for the Sweet Aria :)

Lastly, I have finished another reel of the old movies.  The film is deteriorating, so I'm glad to have transferred to digital.  Cost to send to a service runs about $80.  We might want to consider this as I can only get a certain quality doing it manually.  I'm calling this one the John Highlight Reel. 

Congratulations, Daniel! (and ST3)

The one bright spot from last night's returns was the passage of light rail expansion in Seattle.  Daniel worked on the campaign.  Can you spot him on the victory stage with Dow Constantine?  Nice work, Daniel!  Thank you for all you did!

I ruled that school

District golfer AND student of the month in May? I was the king. (That mary was head cheerleader and student of the month before me is inconsequential.)
