Ilea Percus on the Scene

We're delighted to report that Ilea Percus, daughter of Orin and Isabelle, was born on August 24. Orin wrote (from Ilea's email address, actually!):

Ilea saw the outside world for the first time yesterday, 24 August 2006. What she saw was a little room just past the hospital emergency entrance in Nantes, France. Some notable facts about her are: that her birth occurred at lightning speed; that she weighed exactly 3 kilos at birth; that she has beautiful dark silken hair. Like many people in this country, she actually has three names: Ilea, Sylvie, Alina. Each has a reason behind it. (Her family name is her father’s.)

Mother and daughter are both fine, though a bit sleepless. Ilea’s parents will now probably be worse correspondents than ever, but all three of us send our best.

Ilea and family

[Thanks Orin!]
