A new title for the head of school . . .

. . . Grandfather.

My daughter, Megan, and her husband, Josh, welcomed their first child, Jude, who as born at home on September 28 at 5:36 PST.

My wife, Sarah, a Certified Nurse Midwife, was midwife to Megan and Josh and Jude. She has been back in Eugene, Oregon, since September 9 to support Megan and Josh and now Jude. I will be leaving on October 16 to go meet him and spend time with the new family. The way Sarah describes Jude, I do believe my wife is falling for a much younger man.

Megan grew up as the daughter of a midwife and had always said that when she had a baby, she wanted Sarah there. And so it came to pass. Sarah said it was a beautiful birth and his parents are already doting on him.

If you saw me checking (and rechecking) my text messages on Wednesday, it was because I was getting pretty regular updates.

It is good to be home. And Jude, welcome to the world.
