    Default Ngd!

    New girl day! We welcomed our first child on May 2nd. She's not quite F5 shaped though. I may need an octave mandolin.

    Since she was in the case, I would have thought you named her Amanda Lynn...

    (Which is what George Gruhn named his daughter, I believe [?].)

    Some foot binding techniques, in strategic places, might get her into F5 shape in a couple of years. Congrats.......now life gets fun.
