Dear Family and Friends,
Serendipitous fortune has smiled on the Monleys once again!
We are basking in the serenity of God’s love, rejoicing in the birth of our
baby son- Callan Joshua Monley.
Callan is a Battle,
a Rock in ancient Gaelic. Cal Trask, Steinbeck's personification of how the
best in our nature struggles to triumph over the worst; Cal Ripken, Cal
Worthington, California.... Our Battle Rock has a lineage to uphold!
Someone familiar with Rock Battles is his other namesake- my brother Josh.
Scientist, musician, artist, engineer, Josh has got to be one of the best
uncles a kid could ever ask for. Our hope is that little Cal will embrace life with the same verve
and joy as the man who is his example.
So once again the bells are ringing in our home. The horns are sounding and the
fattened calf is glancing around nervously. We have a brand new Monley, a brand
new Summy, another branch on the woven grove of our family trees. We thank God
for Callan Joshua, and we hope all of you get to meet him soon.
With Love,
Nate, Katie, Finn, Selah, Serin, and Callan Monley
