Shawn's Mom is in town this weekend. She flew in earlier in the week to help with taking care of Caroline while Shawn was on a work trip. She is very helpful! Mom and Grandmom are going shopping today. Yay, break for dad!

Mike Piazza has been playing a few games with the Norfolk Tides, to recover from his injury. The Tides are the farm team for the Mets. His reps said he didn't want to say hello to the fans or sign autographs, but he ended up being coerced.
