BABIES, BABIES EVERYWHERE...

The phone rings and after searching the current mess on the coffee table for my ringing cell phone, I heard this:

"Hello?" I say.

"Hi Arni, it's Craig. Randy wanted me to tell you that the baby came today."

Thus I find out that Emma Brooks Bush was born and that my old college roommate Randy became a dad. Vitals on Not so Little Emma are: 9 pounds, 20 inches long, 10 fingers, 10 toes, no demon horns. We're not sure if she's warewolf or a vampire -- because she has no teeth.

I seem to be surrounded by new parents lately. Maybe I'm just getting older.

Here's some of my friends and co-workers who have become new parents:
u Ken Tysiac, who's leaving the State for Charlotte, and his wife Lura just had a little boy, and on the same day, my boss John and his wife Amanda had a little girl named Jennings.

So congratulations to all the new parents.
