Newest Arrival

This morning, we still had no word on the impending arrival of the newest member of our family. Keith called just to make sure that it had actually been shipped because what if they had not fulfilled the order yet? The horrors of that possibility were laid to rest when we found out that it had been shipped and was actually going to arrive today! We just didn't know when.

After delaying as long as possible, Keith actually had to leave the house today and was a little reticent. I promised not to text/call him for any reason except to say that it had arrived.

It did!

Justin had to text back that to say that Keith had fainted. Some fancy backseat driving by Justin saved the day.

The birth went well - at least that is how Keith described it. I'll ask all those who have actually given birth to overlook this analogy (as I did myself) - he has not been himself since the projector stopped working.

Emma was the photographer. Justin was in charge of hot water.

All devices have been put together, attached to walls/ceilings, and games returned to their proper rooms. All is well, now that the Super Bowl can be watched on the truly big screen.

Don't part with your illusions.
When they are gone you may still exist,
but you have ceased to live.
