Oh baby!

One of my former bosses had his baby this morning. Well, he didn’t, obviously, but his wife did. The birth of a baby is always special, but there’s something else there now that I’ve had my own.

Hello, my name is…

A couple in Chicago, Illinois, tried for 15 years to have a baby. They finally succeeded September 12. Their 15 years makes our two years pale in comparison, and my heart is filled with overwhelming joy that their wish finally came true.

Take me out of the ballgame…

Well, we went to the Cardinals “game” last night. I put game in quotes because, if you saw any of it, you know it was anything but. A game denotes actual competition, and since we didn’t even really bother to show up I hesitate to call it a game.
