Baby Van Steenwyk!
Written by Michael Cline : March 28, 2008
So if Mark’s status messages on Facebook and Gmail are accurate, Jonas Elliot Van Steenwyk has finally arrived on Earth after nearly 8 years of Mark and Amy trying to conceive a child. They were toying around with the process of adoption when this beautiful blessing decided to show up. Early word on the street is that Jonas was born weighing 7lbs, 12 oz. and is 21 3/4″ long.
Now let’s just hope Jonas turns out to be more like Amy than Mark. 
Feel free to write them a congratulatory note or a joy-filled comment. Mark may kill me for posting this on his “According to Mark” section, so the more celebratory remarks the better. Otherwise, my chances of staying on as co-editor for more than a week fall drastically.
Congrats Mark and Amy! We’ll be expecting a picture soon.
