Kelly with Jack Michael Gifford, who was born at 1:30 p.m. today, weighing in at 7 pounds, 13 ounces. If you ask me, he looks nothing like his ultrasound below... I already love him. I have plans for him to be sitting the wood in Wildwood exactly 15 summers from now, working for the future Captain Dan Fourney!

A quick perusal of headlines in today's major newspapers is very telling about the world Jack is born into... "Rumsfeld Defends Plan to Close Bases," "Dow Closes Up 112 on Falling Oil Prices," "South Korea Tries for Nuclear Talks," and, probably most appropriate for his heritage... "Supreme Court Strikes Down Bans on Wine Shipments." Welcome aboard, Jack. It's going to be a fun ride, coach!
