Class of 2000:
While you were all partying it up at the our 10th reunion, a few of your fellow classmates were havin’ babies! 

Just three days before the reunion, Federico Papa and Carol Tham Papa were in Madrid, welcoming Nicolas Papa Tham to the world.  Little Nicolas will learn the ropes from siblings Chiara and Sebastian.

	Tak Imada ’00 and his third daughter, Haruhi, born April 30
	Adam Koontz ’00 and wife Clara with Anna Elizabeth, born May 5
	Carol and Fede Papa, both ’00 with Sebastian, Chiara and newest addition Nicolas

On April 30, Tak Imada and his wife had their third daughter, Haruhi (which in Chinese means “Princess Sunshine” – based on her parents' wish for her to live actively, fulfilled and like a princess!) Tak is yet again surrounded by adoring females.

Adam Koontz and wife Clara gave birth to their first child, Anna Elizabeth Kobayashi Koontz, on May 5 in Salvador, Brazil. Mom, Dad and Anna headed back to Porto Seguro, Brazil, in June, where Adam watched every World Cup game and buying time before he restarts his international consulting career.

Earlier this year, Jennifer and Jon Stewart ’98 and proud sibs Lizzy and Liam welcomed new addition Darby on Feb. 2.  The happy family is residing in Dallas.
