Speaking of new beginnings...

Let me start off by saying...wow! This blog thing is great. I logged on for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised. I thought I would add a bit about what is going on in the Smith (non Marc and Julie chapter) household. Summer has finally come to Boston and we are reving up for a major life change. We're moving to the 'burbs. We close on our first house in 9 days and couldn't be more excited to leave the noises of the city (and our upstairs neighbors) behind. I've attached a picture which doesn't even come close to competing with beautiful Anusha - what a sweet baby! We'll keep you all posted in the weeks ahead and look forward to more updates from all of you and your new and soon-to-be babies.

Announcing the birth of Anusha Landis Jha

Greetings all...here are some photos of little Anusha...

She was born Wednesday, April 25, 2007 at 3:22 p.m. (2 1/2 weeks early and right in the middle of final exams -- the best excuse I've ever had to ask for a 6 week extension!). She was 5 lbs., 14 oz. and 17.5 inches. Nice and small. She is growing well, fitting into "newborn" clothes now (as opposed to the preemie onesies) and a really great baby. She sometimes throws herself like a fish off of our shoulder and makes a lot of facial expressions...not a boring baby at all!

I won't bore you with more details, enjoy a few photos by going to . . .

We had a photo shoot yesterday but none of those are on this. I'll post some of those soon...Anuraj got some really great and artistic shots of baby and mom! : )
