Arrival across the globe
Congratulations to the Dedmon family on the arrival of their daughter, Ellery Koray Dedmon. She was born on Feb. 26 in Istanbul, Turkey, where she joins Dad Adam, Mom Mena, and big sister Campbell. Grandma Bobby Goodspeed was able to be there for the birth.
The Ranchos residents and middle school teachers have lived and taught in Turkey since 2008. Though the original plan was to stay in Turkey for two years, they have decided to extend their adventure until 2011.
Welcome, Ellery!
