Wife’s sister gave birth again today – another boy added to the burgeoning ranks of the next generation. Good timing too: his cousin (and parental addenda) just flew in from post-Sandy New York yesterday.

Ever the joyous one, the delighted new mother called Wife to tell her the news.

“He’s ugly,” she said, “but I like him anyway.”

Thank god for that.

Welcome to the world Nephew #4. It’s all downhill from here…
