Thanks to everyone who congratulated us on and off the Lug.

Nicole and mom came home this afternoon and both are doing great...  I've
been shooting a lot in-between running around trying to get everything taken
care of..... So I'm not sure when I'm going to get anything up for
viewing...  We were more than a bit surprised by the early arrival.  I was
lucky I brought cameras and film home to shoot pictures of Rachel and Mom
this weekend.... I almost didn't .... and boy.... would I have been in big
trouble.

Someone asked where the Noctilux pictures are..... well the Noctilux is
still on my wish-for list..... But I had enough light with a Summicron and
400 ASA for most everything..   I did wish numerous times that they focused
closer...

There was about 15 minutes from the time we got into the delivery till when
the baby was born..... And Cheri was rather stressed... So... I did not
shoot a lot of film.  I was fortunate to have carried the Mini II on my belt
otherwise..... I would have gotten zip...  In hindsight... I wish I had
taken the M-6 with me.... But I really thought it was false labor..... I'll
never live that one down.

Duane
