Jack and Shannon had their baby! He was born yesterday morning at 5:34, was 8lbs, and 20 1/2 inches. I don't know his name yet though, because Jack won't tell us what it is. We were all very excited, and took half the day off to cook them food. She had the baby at home, with the help of a midwife, Jack, and their son Sedge (who's 2). Hopefully we'll get to see him soon.

We're kind of in the middle of what is supposed to be a big storm, but so far it's just snowed a bit and then melted. So this could get nasty. Stone Barns was closed today, so I'm home from work, but I kind of have a bad feeling about tomorrow. If all of this melted snow freezes, then the drive tomorrow is going to suck. This is what I love about the city. Even when the weather sucks, and the roads are awful, we can still get around. I'm going to go see a movie soon, and then tonight I'm suposed to meet Steve and Zac for sushi and maybe a midnight movie.

This weekend I had a rather impromptu visit from Mom, Kelli and Grandma Davis. Kelli called me saying they wanted to take a roadtrip and was I busy the next weekend? So, they drove over on Friday and we took the train down to the city. It was probably the best executed visitors weekend I've had yet. There wasn't really enough time to think about it so we were pretty much just winging it. Mom, Grandma, and Kelli were pretty much just coming to visit and shop, so that's what we did. Kelli made me take everyone down to Ground Zero, which as you should all know by now, is not someplace I enjoy going. But there is a beautiful little church down there that I think is the oldest in the US. and Century 21, which is like a really really good Filene's Basement where I got a lovely little blue dress for an upcoming holiday party and maybe, hopefully for New Year's Eve. I'll post pictures soon. We soon discovered why, exactly, Rockefeller Center is avoided at all costs this time of year. After being literally moved down two city blocks by what amounted to a mob of package-crazed consumers, we crammed ourselves into the American Girl store, where they ran out of the doll Sammy wanted, and then Mom bought too much stuff, and then I was pretty much completely overwhelmed by it all.
But other then that, it was a thoroughly enjoyable time.
