Congratulations to my brother and his wife. Their son Pierce Ingraham Valliere was born on Thursday! I haven't heard the birth story, but from the pictures it looks like everything went really well and everyone is healthy and happy! And Pierce is a perfect looking baby. So tiny.

It's at times like this I HATE being in the midwest, I miss my family and I want to be out there celebrating with them, meeting my nephew, introducing Rory to her cousin. I feel isolated and left out. Sucks. We'll move east one of these days. Just need to wait on that whole timing thing.
