Hi everyone, I have not posted in some time but I wanted to let everyone on the board know that my wife and I had a lovely baby girl, Arianna Maria born on Nov 16th 2009. She was born here in MI and everything was perfect and we are very happy. We made our first trip to the DR to see all the family and had a great Xmas and New Year.

I was a little worried about the baby being just over a month old when we left on Dec 18th but I can say she was fine and slept for most of the trip from Det to Miami and Miami to Santo Domingo, and when not sleeping was eating. 

We had a chance to visit with my in laws and relatives in Santo Domingo, Bonao and Constanza so little Arianna had a chance to spend time with all her new relatives in the DR.

Thanks again for the site Tim and all the best to everyone.

Finally, in my critique of the immigration image of America, it is also important to know that we're not only a nation of immigrants, but we are in some part a nation of emigrants, which often gets neglected.
