Great news from Donna B. Woods!
"While trying to move back into my house last week, the unexpected happened. My granddaughter was due Nov. 5, but decided to join us four weeks early. She is healthy and fine. I was on the next plane to Austin and stayed four nights. Of course, I didn't want to come home. Molly Kate Barr was born to my son, James, and Beth Barr of Austin, TX. She weighed 6 lbs. 9 oz. andis 19 in. long. James and Beth were married at Vine Street in 2002. Proud Grandmother: Donna Woods; Great Grandfather: Chris Barr
Two days later Vaughn became a grandfather. Christopher Marek Woods was born to Chris and Emily Woods. Life continues to change, but these little people are such positives instead of new challenges!"
