B says hi from Taipei.

Naomi rides in on the tail of Sandy

Baby Naomi fortunately arrived 4 days late on Thursday at 4:00 pm.  7# 5 oz. 

Naomi stayed safely inside under Rachel’s protection through the torrential winds and rains that took away their electricity from Monday evening.  Fortunately Sue, John’s mother, found a generator in Massachusetts and brought it down.  It powered one at a time, the sump pump, a light, the fireplace, TV …  

 From Jack’s perspective, what could be better than his own flashlight and staying in pajamas all day long and camping in.

It is hard to imagine ... so many stories from friends in the east.

Rachel and Naomi went home Saturday morning.  John was able to find gas, 75^th in line, just before it ran out.

Then, the electricity finally came back on Saturday evening. 

Wow, what a beginning!
