Time to Celebrate “Labor Day” for Elliott

Most of our friends have joked about the likeliness of me “live blogging” the birth of our first child.

Most of our friends have been correct about this assumption.

Tomorrow, I’ll tweet updates throughout the day.  We go in for induction at 5 a.m. (CDT).  Who knows how long it will be from then until Elliott’s arrival, though.  My tweets will include a #lbrday hashtag.  If you’d like to pass along a message to us or the little fella, you are welcome to use the tag as well.  All #lbrday tweets will appear in the timeline below so you can see what’s going on if you’re not on Twitter.

It’s going to be an exciting day!

Update: You can read the #lbrday transcript of tweets via What the Hashtag.

Hey Abe – it’s yer birfday.

Whilst spending a little quality time with the in-laws in the midwest this holiday season – we came upon this little gem on the local news.  It seems as though February 12th marks Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday. In celebration, the Illinois Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission is inviting folks to send in cards.

If you want to send Abe a card (and maybe a Starbucks gift card for – you know – ending the civil war and all) you can slap a stamp on an envelope marked:

Abraham Lincoln
c/o Old State Capitol
1 Old State Capitol Plaza
Springfield, IL 62701
