Dear readers,
I have been away for a few days tending to other business. Allow me to introduce you to our first son, Ivar Nicholas Groves, born November 1st, 2010. Named after his great grandfather who passed away one year ago. Mother and I are thrilled, exhausted, and overwhelmed with joy.
Blessings,
Rory, Becca & Ivar
