introducing

Levi Eddy Grossman:

Levi-- because we like the name and were in part inspired by the surpising appearance of the Jewish name Levy in Pop-pop Phil's family tree.

Eddy-- partially derived from Edwards, which is the maiden name of Nanny Gorgeous (Gwen), and Edward, which was the middle name of Great Grandpa Ira Scott (Zack's maternal grandfather). We sought a naturalistic counterpart to "Forest", Micah's middle name. An eddy is a current circling in the opposite direction of the main current. In rivers and streams they are typically calm spots, a nice place to rest.

Cutting the cord (Micah helped):

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Beautiful name, too.

I'm very happy for all 4 of you. Reece wants to come see the baby.

Can we present a family portrait at the next team meeting?

xoxo and rest well, dear Amy.

YIPPEEE YI YAYYY! WOO HOOOO!

Now pray tell, is it pronounced Levi (like the singular for those famous jeans) or Levi (like the Led Zep song - when the levee breaks?)
