Limerick Friday, Good Friday, and Happy Birthday

In college, young Christopher Condry
Found his clothes in a bit of a quandary.
Not one sock was a pair
not one thing fit to wear
now he'll pay for his mom to do laundry.

My little sister delivered baby number four early this morning...afternoon for her. She and her family are in China and enjoying the last hours of Good Friday and the first hours of the life of Ethan from there.

What a joy to celebrate Good Friday with new life. I have to admit, knowing that I have a far away little nephew to kiss, and not having a new baby of my own to either care for or prepare for is much more agonizing. I want to HOLD HIM.

Ethan Malachi Hall
April 2, 2010
9 lb. 10 oz.
51 cm. (I think that's just over 20 inches)

I will call him "Chubby!"

All went well.
Congratulations Hall family!

It's funny, being part of the adoption community and seeing so many Chinese kids with non-Chinese parents, and knowing she was in China... My brain confused it all for a split second and I expected Ethan to look Chinese! Ha! Wouldn't that be funny if their kids were like souvenirs and resembled the countries of their birth?! Happy congratulations to your family! I know what you mean about wanting to hold babies. It took me a long time to get there, but I'm soooo there now! My girlfriend Kim gave birth last week and I'm chomping at the bit to fly to CA to hold her daughter!
