2 Uncle 2 Paul

I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before on this blog, but one of my favorite pastimes is being an uncle. As I already have the world's most adorable nephew, it was only fair that eventually my sister (and most likely my brother-in-law as well) got around to producing an inevitably equally adorable niece. After 9 months of getting fatter and fatter, my sister finally came through.

On April 17th, 2009 in beautiful Torrance, CA, Veronica Giovanna Barbarie was born.

Fig. 3: Grandfather (aka "Grumpsy") and child. From what I hear, Veronica has not opened her eyes up a whole lot. Given what she had to look at, she's obviously wise beyond her age.

A big thanks to my Aunt Donna for the photos.

Hooray Baby!
