December 20 New person. She came into your life and turned it upside down. He went out of his way to provide incredible customer service. Who is your unsung hero of 2009?

When the weather outside is 16F/-9C and wildly snowing, what better way to warm my heart than by watching videos or checking out pictures of all of my favorite new people who joined the world during the tail end of 2009?  First there was Holly Caroline in North Carolina, then Benicio Tomas in Brooklyn, and finally Nicholas in D.C..  Somewhere in there, my sweetheart of a nephew, Blake David, also made his grand entrance in Seattle.  These little ones are lucky to have some amazing parents, and I can’t wait to watch them all grow up and see what fantastic things they’ll do.  They definitely collectively win my award for the best new people of 2009!
