I'd just like to say a quick Welcome to the World to the newest addition to our family.

My older sister, Gina, delivered a healthy baby girl this morning, after having to hold off on pushing until the midwife was ready for her (said midwife was one room over delivering another baby).  I've had the lovely experience of not being able to push (I was in the car) even though I wanted to.  Therefore, Gina gets big props for being able to breathe through those urges.

Anyway, Catalina Francesca entered this world and big sister Eliana is full of excitement.  Congrats to Gina, Dave, Elli and Catalina!  Our kids, too, can't wait to meet the newest cousin.  Road trip!

"Oh, Melina, how are you?" they squeal, or, "Can I have a hug, too?"  Melina is happy to oblige. All of that happened before we even made it into the front office to check in.  There, her celebrity status continued.  &
