Not exactly up to the minute news here, where did the last three weeks go and I\'ve left my blog sadly unattended.  The biggest news here is that I\'m a real honest-to-goodness uncle.  Patty had a baby boy ten days ago, Ian Christopher. He\'s cute, and sounds like he cries a lot.  They\'re also lucky since he\'s been sleeping through most of the night, from what I hear he wakes up once, maybe twice, during the night.  The unfortunate thing is, according to my mom and pictures, is that he looks a lot like me when I was a baby.  Hopefully, he\'ll outgrow it, otherwise...

Seeing Patty\'s pictures with him, and despite the stories of having to stop pee with her hand - I imagine it in an appropriately superhero-ey kind of way, has made me more anxious for our own son to be born.  Its only another 5 weeks or so.  It may seem long at times, but work is actually pretty busy so the days go by quick.
