Welcome Sydney Rebekah Hass!
November 4, 2003
Sydney Rebekah Hass made her way into the world on November 4, 2003.
Adorned with long, luxurious red hair, and weighing seven pounds, twelve
ounces, Sydney Rebekah wasted no time in displaying great lung-power.
While giving Sydney her first bath, a nurse commented that for a baby,
she was uncommonly strong. Kevin happily relates that her fingers and
toes are quite long, her body is tall: 20 1/4 inches, and her face, at
least so far, resembles his.
Both mom and baby are resting comfortably.
Make sure to check out our first baby pictures!
Haiku Contest
November, 2003
We are hoping that you can reach deep within yourself to find the inner
poet we all know is there and write some Sydney Rebekah Haiku.
As you may know, Haiku has been used for centuries to illustrate a single
poignant moment or thought experienced by a traveler and is characterized
by three lines of poetry with 5, 7 and 5 syllables respectively. Haiku
can be humorous, and often features a description of a single sound, moment,
or emotion.

Here are some sample haiku to get you started:
Sydney Rebekah,
one thing I have always had,
I pray you find too.
May you find a friend,
as your mom has been for me,
with whom to grow young.
May you find a friend,
as your mother is for me,
with whom to dream big.
May you find a friend,
as your mama is to me,
with whom to love life.
I'm certain you will,
for you have a true example.
She's my dear friend, Liz.
-- Jeannette Allen
Small, pink, beautiful.
Admired by all who see -
"She rules the nursery!"
-- Aunt Linda
