| Good news? GREAT News! I'm a DAD! Last night at 7:07 p.m., my wife gave birth to our very first son, tentatively named Roran. It's my first child, and the beautiful red-headed (full head of hair!!) boy is now chilling with mom while I upload to shutterfly for all my far-off family. Praise God for his health and for giving us this gift to raise. ... I did miss playing a new-year's gig on bass with some monster players here in Georgia, but what a great way to miss it, huh? Peace, Matt |

| Congratulations. I've been a dad for 5 years now, and it keeps getting better everyday. (And it get's easier everyday too! Don't worry, someday you WILL be allowed to sleep through the night again.... or just make your wife get up....  ) |

| Congratulations!! I've got two kids myself (3 1/2 year old boy and an 8 month old girls) and they've changed the way I see the world and the way I view myself, too. I used to think of myself as a composer; now, I think of myself as a Dad who composes. Enjoy every minute! And Matt, the sleep deprivation feels interminable, but when you look back, you realize it's really only a few months: a price well worth paying in retrospect. --Dan |

| Bam - here ya go: Roran Kristopher Garwood... Kristopher is a Scandinavian spelling of "Christopher" which means "Christ - bearer". This boy has a big name to live up to, and we're already praying he'll make both God and parents proud. He's got a great start already :) p.s. - check out all that red hair! And the kid was 3 weeks early, at 8 pounds, 2 ounces! |
