    Hooray! I’m so happy for you. I’m sure he’ll be a little outlaw.

    I don’t believe it! (But congrats anyway.) I guess it’s not necessary to say, “Remember to inoculate him against tyrannical memes!”

    Hey seabuscuit,

    We’ve been waiting for you to come into this world.
    now, you’re are in our strange family line.
    Your mommy is my favorite person.

    She’ll do anything to protect you.
    So, sleep well.
    And take faith in my words.
    You are the most beloved baby in all the land.

    I love you!
    Your oldest cousin,
    Tara

    Just checkin’ in with you guys. Hopin’ you are cherishing every single moment with Sebastian. I know that might sound unrealistic between poopy diapers, spitting up, and the unmerciful 2,3,4 & 5 o’clock feedings, but baby’s grow so fast. Not to fear however, there are the Terrific 2′s, the Thilling 3′s, Fabulous 4′s , Fantastic 5′s, etc.. ,. I do not mean to go on, but Chrissy Poo, I am so happy for you guys.. (tears of joy, rather tears of Deb) – kidding). Kiss baby boy for me, and tell him aunt Deb said, “LOVE”!!!

    PS: Christina, love to hear from you. Whatever medium of communication you choose is fine, just pick one. Joy and I would love to see baby, (no pressure), when your ready let us know. “LOVE”
