Eli Mrug has arrived!
Sylvie Mrug sent this announcement:
Dear friends,
We are happy to announce that Elias Mrug was born on Tuesday, May 23, at noon (just on time for lunch - and he has not stopped eating since!). He weighed 8 lbs, 7 oz (3.8 kg) and was 20.5 in (52 cm) long. He has lots of dark hair and is just adorable! We went home from the hospital on Thursday and are now recuperating and adjusting to a new life.
Hope all is well with all of you!
Sylvie and Michal
