Went to the suburbs today to visit my Uncle Mike, his wife Missy, and Mickey who was born last Saturday.

Unfortunately he was sleeping the whole time so I didn't get to hold him, but it was nice to see him. I like the idea that you can meet another person, not because you haven't gotten around to it, but because they didn't exist a week ago.

Their two girls, Mimi (3 years old) and Liza (1 1/2 years old) are learning to adjust to the baby.

Mike: Mimi just wants to help but Liza is a little fussy. If Missy is holding the baby Liza will tell me to hold the baby to Mommy can hold her.

I refrained from making the same Brady Bunch jokes Mike used to make about Julie when we were younger.
