It was quite a day here. Mom, dad, and baby are all doing fine. The very kind nurses at the hospital are taking good care of all of us.

The second time in to have a baby (we had twins the first time) sure is different than the first. First of all there was no deer in the headlights look. The routine was familiar and substantially more enjoyable. My swaddling technique is very rusty; I'll have to work on that...

Thanks for all the kind words and well wishes!

A few pictures from this afternoon are available below...

You know, it's people like you that make Loudoun County keep growing. I'm not sure we can afford this rampant growth if kids like Joe keep popping out willy-nilly. Quick, call Eugene Delgaudio and let's see how this effects our property tax rates!

All seriousness aside, congratulations!

Seriously, congrats to Mrs. Wiz, Big Wiz, and all the little Wizettes on the addition. Pictures 2 and 3 remind me of Steven Wright's bit about finding the diary he'd kept as a baby.

"Day 1: Still tired from the move.

Day 2: Everyone talks to me like I'm an IDIOT."

Enjoy the baby, Kevin; we'll try to keep things to a dull roar around here.
