And so it begins
It's official, I'm a real uncle now. My older sister Kirstin, just gave birth to her first child, Warner Michael. I'm yet to see a picture, but like all Asian babies (half or whole), I'm sure he is very cute (did I just say cute?!?). I always figured I'd be 'Crazy Uncle Justin'. Sort of like uncle Ted from Bobbie's world. I'd be the single guy that would drop in and stay for a while. My siblings would hate me for being a free-loader. Their kids would love me for being fun. I guess I can still be fun, but the irresponsible single free-loading part isn't coming true. I'm still planning on issuing large quantities of 'noogies' though...
This is also significant because it marks the first in a flurry of babies that may last for some time. Gwen's sister is due in mid January. We have some good friends due two days after us. Our friend Venessa is due late summer (yes Venessa is pregnant!). Who knows who will be next, but for the foreseeable future, someone will be pregnant. It seems like we've just shifted from the time in our lives where all our friends are getting married, to the time when all our friends (and family) are having kids.
I'm glad for this change, if for no other reason then we are one step closer to the time when all our friends are rich and take us on expensive vacations with them... that's next right?

It looks like I get to be the freeloader in the family.
And Gil only has one 'L'

what a disappointment - to not be the crazy uncle. but give that part a try - it might work. so what role does that leave for me??

I could be wrong on this, but I think your friends and family have already sponsored a number of expensive vacations for you don'tchaknow.
