"Wonderful" News

I started a blog a couple of weeks ago where I was going to post a picture of a funky dinosaur and ramble about how I'm a Postablogslackasaurus .. but I never finished it (although I'm sure the opportunity to do so will arise someday). Who says procrastination doesn't pay off in the form of actual newsworthiness?!?

Steve and I have become an uncle and aunt again .. the first baby to arrive from Ronda's side of the family.

Mirana (meaning "wonderful" or "grace") Sophia was born to Ronda's sister Sonja and her husband Fares on Thursday, September 28th at 2:07 am. She weighed in at 7 lbs 3 oz and stretched out to 21 inches long. (As I know nothing about babies, these measurements are either remarkable, or remarkably normal. I would ask my sister, but, well ... she seems to have lost all objectivity. Go figure.)

Mom and baby will most likely be leaving the hospital tomorrow, and both parents are just a little bit excited to begin their life with her.

I figured some baby pictures might be more appreciated than the dinosaur clipart previously mentioned, so go ahead - feast your eyes on our newest niece:
