Hey, Kids! Just wanted to spread the word that now I am Aunt Heather! Johanna gave birth to Claire Wynne Gardiner at 8:30 this morning. Claire is 8 lbs., 5 oz. and has a ton of dark brown hair. Those Crocetto genes are hard to ignore! The best part - Jo says she looks JUST LIKE ME!!!! AHHHHH!!!!! Mom and baby and even Dad are doing great (I could hear Sean floating on air as I was talking to him). I won't get to meet her until this weekend, unfortunately. But I am so excited, I had to share the news!

This Thanksgiving we were in Williamsburg - Tom's parents have built a house in Ford's Colony, and moved there in June. Got to stop at the Cheese Shop before we headed home on Saturday. Yay! Got a good look at the dorms built on Barkesdale. At least some of the open space has been kept, and the style of the building matches well with the other dorms on Landrum Row. I also went to Midnight Madness at the outlets - I was shopping for great deals from 12 AM to 2:45 AM on Friday morning. I've done Black Friday shopping before, but this was kinda surreal! But now I'm back at work, where things are as busy as ever. Remember - if you are ever in Arlington, stop by the main library and give me a shout!

Tom and I had a nice Thanksgiving, and I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!
