Kim McCloy's Baby Boy is Here
Camden Paul McCloy
Born March 7th, 2011 1:15 pm
8 lbs, 14.6 ounces, 20 inches
We decided to be induced on March 7th, 4 days before his due date, mainly so we knew that we would have family here to help out. I was admitted at 7:30 am, and around 8:15 am, the induction was started. I was already dilated to a 4 when I got to the hospital, and the doctor told me that if I hadn’t been induced, I most likely would have been coming in that night on my own anyways, so he was ready to come on that date. We decided to go for the epidural right away because of the fact that I was already a 4 and we didn’t want to have to wait for the anesthesiologist. Labor was pretty simple, Derek and I were actually getting bored and played Who Wants To Be a Millionaire on his i-phone right up until delivery. My total labor and delivery time was 5 hours. At 1 pm, I was checked and ready to go, and at 1:15 pm, Camden Paul McCloy joined our family. He was a big baby, weighing in at 8 lbs 14.6 ounces, and 20 inches long. He has been a very good baby, he really transitioned to sleeping at night pretty fast, and hardly ever cries. London has taken a little bit of time adjusting to sharing the attention, but she is getting better, and loves to help out with her baby brother. We love having one of each and know that we are very blessed for our beautiful children. I want to thank everyone for all of their support and love (and meals) that have been provided. We have such a wonderful ward!

Cacti Seminar
On Tuesday, March 8, Quail Creek will host a repeat of a seminar held by the Green Valley Gardeners concerning growing and caring for cacti in Southern Arizona. The turnout for this seminar was overwhelming, exceeding the capacity of the room, and many, many people were turned away at the door. The Master Gardeners are getting many calls about ailing plants at the Cooperative Extension as well. Obviously people in our area are concerned about their cacti and succulents after the freeze.
After experiencing three nights of the worst freeze in Tucson in 30 years, many folks are looking at dead or dying cacti. The speaker, Mark Sitter, owner of B and B Cactus Farm in Tucson, will introduce you to 10 species of hardy cacti that fared well after the recent freeze. Mark will have living examples of each species and will talk about their merit.
He will discuss how to choose species appropriate to our area and will provide tips on planting, maintaining and feeding your cactus. He will cover proper watering and control of insect pests particular to cacti. With the recent cold spell, Mark will also discuss how to move forward, pruning and removing dead or damaged plants.
Mark has an extensive background in growing and caring for cacti. He worked 10 years at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum as a horticulturist caring for the Cactus and Succulent Garden as well as the Ironwood Restaurant and Gallery. He was involved with many of the museum's designs and installations of cactus and succulents. Today he oversees a large and diverse collection of cactus and succulents from around the world growing at B and B Cactus Farm, 1.5 miles east of Houghton Rd on the east Speedway Blvd. in Tucson.
The seminar will be presented in the ballroom at the Madera Clubhouse. Doors open at 9. The seminar will begin at 9:30 and last approximately 1 hour, with plenty of time left over to ask questions. The seminar is being co-hosted by Quail Creek with the Green Valley Gardeners as a public service and is free and open to the public.
