| Isn't she lovely? |
My dear niece Stacey gave birth to beautiful baby Tessie yesterday. Em and I expected Tess to arrive Monday, June 6. Stace even kept us updated on Facebook - from the hospital. Mid-day, the Mom-to-be posted a photo of her own feet all cozied up in a pair of silly frog-prince socks. But still no Tess.
The little lady wasn’t quite ready to make her debut on June 6 - the anniversary of D-Day. Instead, she made the next day -- Tuesday June 7 -- her own. The day the Boston Red Sox would battle it out for first place against the Yankees .

This sweetie's name wasn't chosen willy-nilly!
Perhaps Tessie's birthday wasn't chosen so willy-nilly either, for the Red Sox defeated the Yankees 6-4 in their quest to take the sole American League East lead , just after her arrival.
Congratulations to Stacey and Shane. And thank you Tess for making this Mommy-of-the-Bride a proud grand aunt, and the Bride-to-be -- and her brother -- thrilled cousins (once-removed!) May your life be blessed, with a tad of those blessings spilling over to the Red Sox. The Series'll be in full swing around the time of Em's wedding, just four months from today.
