A new member of the family

This past Sunday, my brother Paul and his wife Rhonda had their first child together, and Paul's first altogether. Melissa Eden Bradley weighed in at 7 lbs 7 oz at 19 inches long. She looks a lot like this:





Today, she got to meet her Grammy, her Papa, her Uncle Patrick and Aunt Tiffany, and her cousin Brontë for the first time. Eden didn't seem to notice too much; Brontë seemed mildly interested in the new baby, and absolutely fascinated by almost everything that Paul left lying loose around his home.

Welcome to our world, Melissa Eden.
I hope your stay here will be a long and pleasant one.
You know how everything looks all new and shiny and fascinating?
Never stop seeing it that way. Ever.
