Ben was almost late for the bus because I was reading about Matilda's birth. Yay! Such a happy thing to wake up to, especially Emmett's puppy love. Sending massive hugs to the whole family.

::taps foot::

But I agree with the others. Now we need pictures.

Health~ma for Toto, vw!

Have to take Toto in for fluids and meds. Poor baby.

So much for getting homework done today!

Hec, your baby girl has done it again: she made me cry at work. Emmett may have helped a little, too. I'm so happy for you and JZ. Such a beautiful, amazing family. Give JZ gentle hugs for me, I know how damn sore a C-section makes you. At least it sounds like they're actually giving her decent pain medication, though. I can't say the same when I had my kids.

Congratulations, ND! Keep on wowing them out in LA.

Happy Birthday, Nicole!!

Congrats on the nominations, ND! Go you!

Health~ma for Toto! Poor little guy.

David, I loved your post about the (much anticipated) arrival of Matilda. Just lovely. Thank you for sharing so much of the day with us. And muchos recovery~ma for JZ.

I'm about to be swallowed alive by the amount of work I need to get done today, so I wanted to run in and say THANK YOU for the birthday wishes. Today has already been a very good day... and it's only 7am.

I'm glad you're having a good day, Nicole. Sorry you have so much work to do on your birthday.

I somehow missed ND's nominations, but yay! You rock star, you!

Work on your birthday should be outlawed, Nicole. I hope you have cake and something fun planned, at least.

Happy Birthday Nicole!

I'm glad I didn't skip all the way to the end, I would have missed the Matilda story. Many congratulations to Matilda for picking such a great family to be born into. Yay for Emmett and yay for Hec and JZ.

Deena!

Hey sweetie!

Hi Deena! My mother thinks you're awesome. Just so you know. She is so impressed by you.
