Welcome to the world, Josh.

We have a new member of our extended family:

Joshua was born in Seattle today. He's 19 inches long, 7 pounds, 9 ounces and his mother labored 24 hours to get him here. His grandpa Harry has been waiting virtually his entire adult life for his time as a parent to result in the big payoff - grandchildren. Congratulations Harry - your day has come!

Josh's parents, Matt and Beth, are truly lovely people and Josh is blessed to be born into a large and loving extended family who have been anxiously awaiting his arrival. What a gift to be unconditionally loved even before you are born. And you are loved Josh, you are truly, fully and unconditionally loved.

Welcome to the family.

Welcome little Josh! Good luck keeping up with your big cousins! But I'm sure they'll teach you a trick or two when the time is right.
