Introducing the Newest and Smallest Member of our Family:

Bosco Anthony Bork! Bosco is my mom's maiden name, and Anthony is Paula's dad's name, so it's all in the family. And although I can't help thinking of my grandma and grandpa Marie and Rocco Bosco, and Seinfeld and George Costanza's secret code, Greg has assured us that we can call him Bo or Boz (which I might choose, because Boz was Charles Dickens's pen name when he was writing essays) We'll have to see what he answers to in the next few months.

In addition to being the newest, Bosco is also the reddest and the wrinkliest, and certainly the softest and the squishiest. But although he was tooting a bit tonight, Henry still has the title of fartiest.

Paula had this tiniest of Borks on Tuesday night at just about 8:16 p.m. He came six weeks early, the little scamp, and has to spend the next few days in the Newborn (I just typed "Newbork" and had to delete...) ICU because he's a skinny little guy (5 lbs. 3 oz.). But he's doing great, as is new Mama Bork! Here are some photos of the new parents, Bosco himself, the new Grandma Bork, and the new Auntie Laura!

Dad, Mom, and Baby!

He has your hair, Greg!

You're So Very Small!

Bosco's First Toot: way to go, kid!

I'll be posting more pictures of little Bosco as soon as I see him again (maybe Friday), or as soon as I steal some pics from the other people who are visiting him. Trevor and I enjoyed the view from Paula's room, too, and I took a shot of Trevor taking a shot.

Oh, right. And Paula had a baby shower on Sunday (the timing was perfect!), so here are some of the photos from that!

In addition to being Bosco's birthday, Tuesday was also Sadie's half birthday, so we had a lot to celebrate. And here's a little video taken by Sean to show off how damn cute she's getting.

In other news, I had to report for jury duty today. It was wholly uneventful, though I got lots of papers graded. By the end of the day, though, I'd had quite enough.

And that just made me realize how long a day it's been. I'll sign off for now. Good night, Bosco!
