Matt's Mom and Dad offer support before the birth

Matt's Mom (Aggie) and Dad (Jon) came by Lucille Packard Childrens' Hospital early on August 25th to offer support to Hilary. As you can see from their expressions, they are completely unexcited about the impending birth (not!)

In a very real sense, Daniel would not have happened without Jon and Aggie. During a particularly difficult time as Hilary was trying to conceive, they were extremely supportive and kind -- for example, Jon drove Hilary forty miles to a 7 am doctor's appointment on a holiday weekend without thinking twice about it.

For Matt, the only problem with having such nice parents is that Hilary can ask him why he is not living up to their consistently high standard... ;-)
