Some of you may have noticed that Bob (deReef) and I have been MIA from the meetings for several months now... We plan to attend the meeting on the 29th with a new member of the reef club - a little baby girl who is expected any day now! We have hit some rough waves along the way (hospitalization, bed rest), and haven't been able to make it to recent meetings, but it looks to be smooth sailing from here on.

We're still undecided on a name, and I think it would be really neat to give her a name that is ocean/reef related - considering that Bob and I met each other at the January 2002 PNWMAS meeting, and this crazy hobby is what brought us together. Please post any/all name suggestions, or feel free to tell me I'm completely nuts!
