Alex thanks the out-of-towners!
Alex is now 2 weeks old, and it's worth expressing a little appreciation for everyone who has been there for us.
Countless people have gone well out of their way to help deliver, soothe, welcome, announce, celebrate and toast Alex's arrival.
Obviously, all four of his grandparents have been key figures. They were not only present at the bris, but they actively involved every step of the way since Alison was admitted into the labor & delivery unit on Thanksgiving day. Rona was in the delivery room for the better part of two days.
Al's sister Jess was also in the delivery room for this stretch. Her unique background as a doctor, a mother of three and a delivery coach made her a vital part of navigating the delivery.
Al's other sister Julie wanted to be in the delivery room, but a nasty stomach bug kept her out of action on that day. She was the first outside visitor, though--closely followed by Al's dad, Arnie.
Matt's parents entered the scene the day before the bris. While they were following all of the play-by-play of the labor via the phone, they actually met Alex for the first time on his 1 week birthday.
At the same time, Alex was pleased to welcome a number of notable out-of-towners... his cousin Julia and Uncle Jamie from Los Angeles, his dad's buddies, Jordy Loeb (who stayed with buddy Jack Chorowsky). Meanwhile, his from Boston even made it down (Will Shrank & Mimi Vogel put up with a herculian drive through the driving snow) and his great-aunt Carol zipped in from stylish Philadelphia.
