Stella!!!!

The bundle of joy has arrived! After nearly a day and a half of labor, my favorite (and it should be said, only) niece Stella made her grand appearance on the world stage this morning at 12:21 AM. This makes her an official lucky baby (if you believe in Chinese tradition, mysticism, voodoo economics or Bigfoot) having been born on 8/8/08. Congratulations to Zach and Whit, and to the newly minted grandparents as well! We were, as you might imagine, extremely happy to meet her...
