Evelyn Gratton (Pepin)
On a personal, non-reunion note: I'm a Great-Aunt!! My nephew, Joe, and his wife, Emily, were expecting their baby girl on Oct 10th, in fact, but it seems their calculation of dates were off a bit. Arianna Jade Gratton (not sure how they're spelling her name yet, so we'll go with this for now) was born at 8:40 pm on Sept 24th, 7 lbs 8 oz. She's the first of the next generation on my side of the family. (Technically, I'm already a great-aunt (in-law) to Ron's niece's daughters, but now I'm a "natural" one, too.) My nephew, 27, is over the moon! He says he "gets it now!" Isn't that cool? My niece-in-law, Emily, persevered through the lengthy labor and is doing great. I've only seen a picture, so I can't wait to meet Baby Arianna in person!
This is a 'power week' of birthdays: Mine was on Monday, the 21st, my niece, Jennie's (Joe's sister) was Wednesday, the 23rd, now Arianna's is the 24th, my sister, Nancy's is the 25th (Oh, that's today!), Leah Garlichs' birthday is on the 27th... which seems to suggest that Christmas is a very romantic time of year! Or that there's nothing much on TV... ;-)
