spawn: Lennon Akira Snyder. Sakura, our three-year-old <i>enfant terrible</i>,
is reasonably satisfied with her parent-competition, and feels that he will
make a fantastic footrest. His first name comes from a Mr. John Lennon
and his world of the <i>Imagine</i>. His middle name comes from our beloved
bruiser-cruiser the Japanese director Akira Kurosawa (<i>Seven Samurai</i>). Snyder is the sort of caucaZoid American part, and slightly disappointing
due to the lack financial connections to the Snyder's bakery and pretzel
company (of Hanover, no less). Born a week early, he rattled into the
life-maze at 6 pounds 15 ounces at 4:28am on Friday, October 29, 2010.
Needless to say, he is a big fan of milk. Shortly afterwords,
diapers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
