Dee’s News
Polly and Samuel Girod were
honored with a baby shower by
several of their friends on Satur-
day, September 2 . 2013. The
shower was hosted at the home
of Daniel and Janelle Lustig of
Vevay, Indiana.
Samuel no sooner arrived at the
party than he was informed he
had to “wear” a ball under his shirt
for the duration of the celebration!
This made for many funny mo-
ments and photos that will be en-
joyed for quite some time.
The guests also played several
games and had
a wonderful
meal together.
Samuel and
Polly say they
are very grate-
ful and feel blessed to have the support
of their
friends.
UPDATE: It’s a girl! The
Girod’s baby was born the day
after Dee wrote this article. Polly
and Samuel are pleased to an-
nounce the arrival of their first
child, little Rebecca Rose Girod.
She was born on October 7,
2013
at 5:07 PM. She weighed
7.9
lbs and was 20 1/4 inches
long. Welcome to the world, Lit-
tle One. Congratulations to Polly
and Samuel!
