Today has been a wonderful day, chiefly because my nephew Micah Smedberg was born at 1:33 PM this afternoon. He’s 8 lb., 3 oz. and 21 inches tall, and I’m told that both he and my sister Suzanne are doing well. I have not seen him yet, as they’re several hours away from here, but I’m going to get up to Pennsylvania this weekend and take lots of pictures.

Little Micah has three older sisters, and accordingly I’ve been having pronoun troubles (I’m so used to using “she” for the babies). I’m going to have to get used to the the phrase “my baby nieces and nephew” instead of “my baby nieces”. It will be hard, I know. Congratulations to Suzanne and Ben and the rest of the family!
