Welcome Cousin Melek

We are very happy to announce that Meltem's brother Hasan and his wife Elif are now the proud parents of beautiful little Melek Kelepir. Melek, whose name means "angel," was born yesterday, Sunday March 30, and went home today. We took some pictures which I will post as soon as I have explicit permission to do so. I've gotta say, Melek is really striking; she has a remarkable profile, something like an ancient Greek goddess. But you'll see when I post the piccies. For now, join us in congratulating Hasan and Elif!
