Who is This ?  My new Grand Niece, Magdalena Clara Berry, daughter of niece Claudette, and grand daughter of sis Elsbeth Banda.  As her mom says:  “Magda, born May 26th at 1:17 PM EST (important for numerology) - 7 lbs, 1/2 oz, 20 inches of Healthy BABY!   Born in the usual way, after a most unusual number of days.” I now have 8 Grand Nephews, and 13 Grand Nieces. Hey kids, keep them coming.  I must be getting old has the hills.

This blog is all about this relatives.  Niece (and new mom) is studying to be a Midwife. A career decision she made after spending time with husband Ben in the Peace Corp.  She will graduate in 2012. Just Google’d Midwife salaries, wow:

Midwife Salary Range

“There are several factors that have an impact on the midwife salary range ..., and most importantly the certification. .... a certified midwife with less than a year's experience can expect a per annum pay of around $62,000 to $81,000. .... “.  That is awesome. Not many men in the profession, about 2%,  but if you are a young lady, not a bad career I think.

Her husband Ben, after the Peace Corp decided to be a medical doctor, and is working hard at his studies, will graduate in 2014.

I see my database is Ben family poor, will have to fix that. I know he has brothers and sisters, and Magda must have more cousins.
