It's ten days later and we've closed, we've moved, and we've had a baby!

The closing went smooth as silk. Not a single hitch. Carol Barrett with Home Loan Corp has handled all of the financing for us and it's been unbelievably easy. Thank you Carol. Bay Area Movers did a super job getting us out of our third floor apartment and into our new home. Not so much as a single scratch--on our furniture or on the house. They were really glad to being going DOWN three floors with our furniture instead of up.

We closed Thursday, May 13; moved Friday, May 14; I left to go to Dallas Sunday, May 16; and Landon Ross Johnson was born Monday, May 17, weighing in at 10 lb. 14 oz, 22 in. long. He's beautiful! See for yourself.

5/17/99 - Dr. Staub tells Les "Good job" and the new uncle has gotten quite an education! 5/17/99 - The new mom rests peacefully at last. 5/17/99 - A small hole in his lung has Landon in the Neonatal ICU. His worried parents look on.
