Say Hello to Rowan Robert Mills

Our friends Erica & Rod Mills (yes, the same Millsy from this post) welcomed their 2nd child, Rowan to the world last Thursday. It was great treat for Irene and me to be able to have (kind of) a dress rehearsal at Ballard Swedish Hospital just about a month before JJ's arrival.

Here's the email and photo from Erica:

Rowan Robert Mills arrived at 12:13 on November 1. He was 9lbs 3oz and 19 inches long -- no wonder my belly was so big!

He has tons of hair and is generally a mellow little dude. Annick is an exuberant big sister, which leads to us saying, "gentle" and "remember, not his eyes" a lot. Let's just say she's adjusting. She might have worked through her adjustment by the time she goes to college. : )

We're all doing really well and looking forward to introducing you all to Rowan over the coming weeks.

Cheers to everyone,

Erica

JJ's 3rd trimester & Sox playoff tickets

Irene and JJ (and me too I guess) officially entered their 3rd trimester last Wednesday. That's right--less than 3 months to go! It's starting to feel real now--we even bought a car seat and some onesies on Saturday. I'll post a picture of Irene in the near future if I can get her to let me.

Also - The Red Sox emailed me today about signing up for a chance to buy Fenway playoff tix here. I love the picture in the email--it really captures the Fenway experience in full: an overweight, drunk, bearded white guy in a red tshirt leaning/sweating over you for 3 and a half or 4 hours.
Good times!Speaking of baseball, very very funny Onion article here.
