Births: On Jan. 5, Kristen (Schimmoler) Kessler and Tim Kessler welcomed Ella Reese Kessler to the world at 5 pounds, 14 ounces. Both Tim and Kristen are very excited to start a family in their new house in Chicago.

Bhavna and Ashish Kasturia welcomed a baby daughter, Naina on Christmas Day. This is the first product launch of a Joint Venture that began towards the end of Ashish's first year at Kellogg. Naina appears destined to become a MORS guru someday, with her deft and skillful marshaling of her parents' attention since her first days.

Scott Blanding writes: "My wife (Leesa), my daughter (Ruby) and I welcomed a new addition to our family. Georgia Elizabeth Blanding was born on Jan. 31 and weighed 7 pounds, 6 ounces."

Kameron Rezai '05 and Alison Rezai are happy to announce the arrival of their first child, Benjamin Garrett Rezai, at 10: 28 a.m. on Jan. 29. Little Ben was born at CPMC hospital in San Francisco and weighed in at 7 pounds, 7 ounces and 20 inches long. Mom, Dad, and Ben are enjoying every moment together.

Marriages: This past fall, family and friends from across the globe joined Mileva Zunjic and Guillermo Trias '04 in Seville, Spain for a three day long gypsy-style wedding. An amazing group of Kellogg grads from four different classes (06, 04, 03, 93) were the soul of the party and engaged in some serious debauchery: Laura Karam and Daniel Pierce, Carol Kim, Renee Martin Cherubin, Claudia Belmont, Sandi Medeiros, Alison Coleman Rezai, Reshma Dalia, Kristen Sherman, Christina Lowe, Andrew Mitchell and Pamela Davis, Cristian Fernandez, Arturo Figar, David Milestone, Amine Sebti and Zineb Benis Sebti, Carlo Pollaco, Alejandro Medina, Ivan Bravo '04 and Molly Bravo, Martin Claure '04, Ignacio Alvarez '04, David Nunez '03, and Alvaro de Remedios '93. UNFORGETTABLE!!!

Other fun stuff, updates: Melissa Grund of Grund & Leavitt, PC in Chicago was selected as one of Illinois Rising Stars 2012 by SuperLawyers.
