This week, we welcome a new member to our collective family!

My brother, Todd and his fiancée Bobbie Jo had their first child. Allow me to introduce:

Kate Emma Silvia.

She was born at 10:40pm on Election Day, and weighed in at 6 pounds and 5 ounces. Though measuring a mere 19 inches, she was said to have more than made up for that with her mighty cry, wide-open blue-eyed gaze, and copious dark hair!

Welcome, my new niece!

Being as you came into our lives on Election Day, I now make the prophecy that we will be seeing you in politics some day. Perhaps President in 2041? Much love to Kate.
