santa and the stork crossed paths in mid-flight halfway to our house (or, born while i was totally blogging this)

Soundtrack in my head:  Cloud Cult, “You Were Born”

A baby boy was born right about the time that I finished the last blog post–about twenty minutes to midnight on Christmas Day.  This surprised me because I heard very little in the way of sound coming down the hallway.  I didn’t actually know until the next morning. I’ve caught only a little glimpse of him at this point–his parents have rarely left their room, but I have heard his crying down the hall from time to time. He has a name, but for the purposes of confidentiality, I will call him Noel in this blog.  Don’t ask me how I got the name–it just sort of came to me.

Here is a little video which I think serves as an appropriate greeting for him.
