Jennifer and I have been friends for thirty years. We met in kindergarten, when I was five and she was five-and-a-half (yes, if you’re doing the math right that would still make me 29). It seems like only yesterday that we were roller-skating around the neighborhood sporting satin jackets and bad perms. There are moments when it’s still hard to wrap my head around the fact that we’re all grown up now, with responsibilities and real estate and babies of our own. So much has changed over the years, but the most important things have remained the same (like, for instance, the fact that she’ll always be older than me). Jen has been, and will always be, a very special person in my life. In addition to the many wonderful things that she is, she is now also a “mom”, and I couldn’t be happier for her!

Jen and Charlie – Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful daughter. She is a very lucky and loved little girl. I wish you all the best, always.

Welcome to the world, Zoe Michael …
