Nana arrives to save the day!


My mom landed on July 8th to help us in our sleep deprived cluelessness. Nana was such a huge help, not just for the shopping and the cooking (yes, those of you who know my mom, she came out of her cooking retirement and kept Wayne and I fed and watered her whole visit), but mostly for the endless answers to all our first time parent questions. Nana seemed to enjoy her daily walk, aka break from us, as she wandered around enjoying village life. She came back daily filling me in on who she ran into and who said congratulations on the baby - I suppose the accent may have given her away... With mom's jetlag and our lack of sleep, we did have a few laughs, but Rebecca is really missing Nana's magic shoulder - guaranteed to get her burping!

Fourth of July 2008


Welcome Rebecca Hilton! Forget bbq's and fireworks - this 4th of July brought us Mary Rebecca Hilton. (Although my parents did go out and buy a birthday cake for the bbq they were having in New York when they found out I was in labor!) Rebecca weighed in at 8lb 1oz and was 22 inches long.
