Over the weekend

So my wife's brother Curtis and his wife Jenny had thier first child Saturday. We got to see the new one and his proud parents that night.

Curtis, being Curtis, was as stolid and implacable as ever. He looked like he might have been a little tired, mostly because he was rubbing his eyes. Other than that, he was normal. Jenny was as beautiful as ever, and just as chipper. While talking to her you would never guess that she had just given birth to a seven and a half pound baby.

The New One, Gabriel Nicholas, came two and a half weeks early. he is seven and one half pounds and twenty one inches long. Unfortunately, he was facing the wrong way and his whole face is deeply bruised as a result. Poor kid...

Imagine how big he'd be if he had been borne on time...

I can't wait until we have our next one....

As an added tease, my friend Dawn will be having her new son in a week or two at most. I still have to wait until the end of June before my boy pops out to say hi. Actually, if truth be told, I can wait. Just until the beginning of July. July fourth would be awesome!

I hope that my wife doesn't read this, I doubt that she'd agree with the whole late delivery thing... ;-)

Other weekend news, my sister in-law Anita swung by from Indiana. You know, I had almost forgotten how PINK she is. When we dropped her off this morning she was wearing pink platform tennis shoes, blue jeans, a pink sweater with a pink sequined sash tied around her waist, and a pink knit cap on her very blonde head. Oh, and she had a pink fleece wrap, a pink jacket, and a pink leopard spotted purse. Ugh.... If you took away the purse, the jackets (too much pink, brain overload...) and especially that sash she would have been cute. As it is, it was just way too much. Death by pink overload...

Anita was visiting to repaint her old condo that she has been trying to sell for about 5 years + eternity now. Her new realter told her to repaint it in order to make it saleable.

She had an old realter who should be arrested and permanantly barred from realty. This realter allowed some homeless guy to sleep in Anita's condo, provided he put up a For Sale sign in the window before he left each morning. This realter also advised that Anita rent out the condo to some office mates of the realter. The people who moved in brought five dogs with them and managed to completely destroy the carpet throughout the condo in less than a week.

This condo is Anita's personal hell. My wife and I are going to take pics of it and show some people here at work. Maybe someone will take the condo from Anita. That'd be cool. Even better, Anita may feel so gratefull that she'll lay off the pink and glitter and stuff when she comes to visit. Nah... She'd never do it... But I could always hope...
