Yay! Linda managed to go into labour on Labour Day! Baby Fuerth entered the scene four hours ago, and she's a girl! Hi Ada! :) So, so exciting. Chris and I are going to spoil this kid rotten. Many many congratulations to Jonathan and Linda!

I'm off to Nova Scotia today, a land of great-aunts and great-uncles and limited Internet access and fresh lobster and shrimp and crab and tides and The Ocean I HAVEN'T Touched Yet This Summer, a land where my mom and I will eat way too much seafood, visit lots of family, and play in the Bay of Fundy. :) So, I doubt I'll be able to post until at least the 13th. And then I will come back and finally get to say hi to Ada in person!
