So now you know what it takes for me to write a post now-a-days.  Yesterday, July 16, 2007, was the birthday (literally) of my and Sarah’s second child, Susan Elizabeth.  It still is difficult to take in that — not only are we parents — but we’re parents of two children.  Crazy, right?

But…wow.  It’s a great feeling.  I was worried that I wasn’t going to be able to be there for the birth — me being really sick for two days before, but all was well by the time the birth actually came.  Mother and daughter (and mother-in-law!) are at the hospital during the nights, while Josiah and I have some bonding time at home.  Don’t want him to feel left out!

So, I thought I’d introduce everyone to a little girl (at least that we’ve been told so far!) that Sarah and I finally got to see on the “big screen” (otherwise known as the ultrasound machine) earlier today.  Here is Susan Elizabeth Latimer (yes, we had already thought of names).

This little kid is just like her big brother Josiah in that she was waving her hands the entire time we were looking at her!  And then we got to see her alien little face (I say that lovingly, if you couldn’t tell)…

So there you go — enjoy!

I’ve started regularly taking the commuter train to Boston, as I’m trying to extend the life of my car as well as save a bit of money in gasoline and tolls on the Mass Pike.I’ve always enjoyed people watching. I’ll never forget that, on my very first trip to New York City during the summer of 1998, I sat on the subway in Manhattan from the south to the north end and then went back again — just because of the different types of people I saw.It was fun to try and put stories to these people…were they coming to or from the office…were they going to visit friends…were they tourists, like me, who were just here “to be here.”
