While Beth’s mother was on a business trip to the Philippines, it seems that her father gave birth to a very furry, 14 lbs. little boy named Seamus. While it is a wonder how Don kept this a secret from everyone, what is more significant about this blessed event is that it takes the heat off of us for producing little things of our own (furry or otherwise). Don’s new little friend is a Cairn Terrier and hails from heathered moors of Scottland. This is perfectly appropriate seeing as the Mannings themselves are a Scotch-Irish breed.

Welcome to the family, Seamus.
