Due to the massive snowstorm in the Northeast (that people are calling Nemo for some reason), I missed our baby shower yesterday. Over two feet of snow fell on our town in Massachusetts. I am in San Francisco now (Alberto is moving out in a couple of weeks after finishing up some business in Massachusetts – including the small matter of selling our house) and although I moved my flight so that it landed several hours after the snow was projected to end, the airlines cancelled flights for three days because of the storm.

So Alberto and some of our other friends sent me pictures of the shower and I attended via text message from my desk at my new job.

Although it sucks to have missed the shower, we have incredibly generous friends. They didn’t just get us great gifts (although they did get us great gifts) but they showed their love and support for us. We will miss them all when we are living in California, and we hope to be able to visit often so that they can be a part of our daughter’s life.
