A Special Sweater and a Congratulations...

First of all - Congratulations to my friend Joanna. (she's the lovely lady in the middle). Her beautiful baby Hannah Lynn was born yesterday. Everyone is doing great and Joanna and Ben are absolutely in love with their little girl (as it should be). Two of my other friends in the picture (Charlene and Sara - the two redheads) are due in the middle of February. It's really great that we're having children all at the same time and can draw from eachother's experiences and questions and just be there for eachother in general (even though there are hundreds of miles between us now).

We had a really low-key, nice day today. It was too nice to stay inside, so we went and took a walk around WPI. There has been a lot of building there recently and the campus looks really nice. We saw WPI play Clark in Men's Soccer. Clark may have had the better team and they definetly had better hecklers (did you know that WPI stands for "Women Please Inquire?"). I haven't heard insults that good since I got to go to the Beanpot Tournaments in the late nineties. BU may have better hockey teams, but Northeastern takes the cake with heckling (hey - we have to be good at something)...


Caroline got to wear her special sweater today. My Aunt Chris and my Nanny made it for her. Nanny started a sweater (for an adult) before she passed away, but wasn't able to finish it. My Grandfather gave all Nanny's knitting to Aunt Chris and she was able to re-vamp the sweater into something that would fit a baby. It's a great neutral color, too (do you think Nanny knew something that the rest of us didn't?)...Even though it makes me a little sad every time I put in on her, I have to smile at the same time.
