Calvin arrived on January 22nd of 2004, the first day of the year of the Monkey. He surprised everyone with his red hair and green eyes which he got from his daddy. Mommy got to claim his little button nose and pouty lips. From the very beginning Calvin was a calm and happy lad who slept through the nights in a nursery filled with screaming babies. We are blessed to have him join our little family.
