Our daughter, Anna Elizabeth Truslow, was born on March 29, 2010 at 4:35 in the afternoon. She weighed eight pounds and eleven ounces, and was twenty one and a half inches long.
We continue to update truslow.org with the latest photos of both girls.
My brother Mark did a great thing this morning by uploading a very interesting family movie to YouTube. The video is a collection of several films taken in and around Summit, New Jersey, (my grandfather's home town), between approximately 1915 and 1935. The footage was assembled by cousins with talent for such things and distributed at our last reunion in Summit.
This is a fascinating look at one slice of America during that period of our history. It's wonderful to see my great-grandparents in their homes, their eight children at various ages, and my grandfather as a dashing young man shaking hands with his family before taking off from a field in his open cockpit aircraft.
Our daughter, Merrie Frances Truslow, was born today at 12:54 pm at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. Merrie Frances is a very sturdy 8 pounds, 8.3 ounces, with a ton of hair, blue eyes and a very nice smile.

You have to look carefully, but the moment before this photo was taken, the baby put its hands behind its head, and crossed its legs. That's a footprint you see...
