Dear Friends and Loved Ones,

It is our blessed privilege to announce to you the birth of our second son, Mark Christian Monti. Mark arrived on April 16, 2008 at 8:11 a.m., weighing 8 lbs. 7 oz. and measuring 21 in. long.

Christi and Mark are both doing well, esteemed Big Brother Robert is very excited about his first sibling’s arrival, and Rob spends a lot of time just repeating, "I have two children now," in stupefied wonder.

For additional photos and information about our new bundle of joy, you can view this online album or visit Rob's blog.

Our family thanks all of you for your gifts, prayers, love, and support.
