You Can Teach An Ant To Fly.... But Can You Make Him
Babysit?
ANN loves good news and
some of the best we've received in a LONG while just reached us.
Wes and Teresa Oleszewski, the brains(?) and wit behind the
immensely popular Klyde Morris cartoon strip have just become
parents, for the FIRST time, to a BEAUTIFUL/HEALTHY baby girl.
As the recent Klyde-Gram announced, "It's a girl!!!! Wes and
Teresa Oleszewski are busting with happiness to announce the
arrival of Anjelysa Akie Oleszewski at 12:38 pm, Oct. 20, 2003- 6
pounds, 6 oz. 18.5 in long. Baby is in perfect health and doing
very well. Mom is recovering but will not be home until Friday- dad
is walking around in a daze and bursting with pride... mainly
because the baby looks just like her mother... thank goodness."
The lovely name comes courtesy of their families, Ms.
Oleszewski's name takes the letters AN from Wes' mom Susanne (and
we were hoping it was really from ANN - ah well...), JE from Wes'
sister Jeanine, LY from Wes' niece Tracy Lynn, and SA from Wes'
sister-in-law, Melissa- to honor all of them. It is pronounced
"Angi-lisa." Her middle name, Akie, honor's Teresa's late
mother.
Like all things associated with the Klyde Krowd, Anjelysa's
arrival was not without it's more entertaining (if not, energetic)
moments. Wes tells us that the baby began to arrive late Sunday
evening, so he rushed Teresa toward the hospital only to be STOPPED
on the ONLY road from their home to the mainland by an accident
involving an over-turned car -- blocking BOTH lanes.
So Wes ran... YES,
Ran... all way up a quarter mile of stopped traffic to the accident
scene and found a police officer. Telling said gendarme of their
plight, he had wes RUN back -- Yes RUN -- to take the van out of
the traffic jam, cutting to the front of the stopped traffic where
they WAITED some more. Since the Fire Department couldn't clear the
road, the Chief had one of the on-scene ambulances whisk Teresa on
to the hospital (a 30 min. drive from their house) while Wes sat in
traffic and WAITED (some more).
Some 40 minutes later they cleared enough room to get him
through, so Wes headed to the hospital at a speed no where
near Mach One... or so he claims. Wes got there to find Teresa
stable and doing fine... until she delivered Anjelysa the NEXT
day... leaving Wes to enjoy the fond memory of the previous
evening's quarter mile sprints. But not for long... because
Wes is now playing Daddy, breaking out some Klyde dolls for
future family use (seen right), and bouncing off the walls... or as
he puts it... "Happiness abounds here."
We'll bet it does. To Wes, Teresa, and Anjelysa, we send our
love and congratulations to the recently upgraded Oleszewski
family and note that it's only 16 years or so until Anjelysa can
solo...
