Indy Star’s Stephen Beard adds to personal portfolio
Graphics master Stephen Beard of The Indianapolis Star and his wife, Susie, increased the size of their family Thursday. At 2:13 p.m., to be precise.

Meet Sarah Christine Beard — all 7 lbs, 10 oz. of her. Stephen points out this, oddly enough, was also the birth weight of their son, Matthew.
Stephen writes:
Mother and daughter are doing exceedingly well. Labor was short and sweet (or as sweet as anything called “labor” can be). On meeting Sarah for the first time, Matthew had only this to say: “Take Baby Sisstah away!”
Oh, man. We haven’t even told him we’re planning to bring her HOME from the hospital.

Susie, Sarah and Stephen Beard.

W00t w00t! Think Sarah’s ready for her first locater map? Yayyyyyyy, I totally want to babysit the heck out of this cute one. Congrats.

Congratulations, Stephen. A daddy again!
Nina: I’m imagining the first locater they had of her was the ultrasound (I’m kidding).

One day, that kid will probably be my boss. I’d better start sucking up immediately.

Sarah’s a lucky little kid to have such a great set of parents! Best to the Beard family.
