My sister Marcina Kreta just delivered Joshua James Kreta (the evening of the 28th, Southern-California time). I'd been checking email every minute for the last three weeks waiting for word -- little Joshua was quite tardy in his debut.

It remains to be seen if he'll go by “Joshua”, “Josh”, “JJ”, or what. In fact, he remains to be seen at all -- I got a text message from Marty (his daddy) and have no info other than “8 lbs 13 oz” and “both doing fine”. I notice he does not comment as to how he's doing 🙂

Anthony is not old enough to really understand that he has a new cousin (or even what a cousin is) until he meets him. He does remember little Gracie, whom he met last summer. We'll all be in Ohio in July for my brother Alan's wedding, so I'm sure we'll get to see Joshua then!
