Here we are in the last weeks of June… Summer has officially arrived, school is out for the season, the days grow a little more lazy and for the second year in a row I continue partaking in my daily blogging exercise, marginally focused along a question-and-answer theme I’ve simply called Those 30 posts in June. Still no planning. Still no writing of these words days in advance. Still just this: each day a meanderingly vague prompt drives a meanderingly vague post… and today that post just happens to be:

June 24rd // Something You Want To See

Given, any time the family expands it goes without saying that one needs to make the trip to the point of expansion to pay a bit of hommage to the new arrival.

My brother, sister-in-law, and niece welcomed a new addition to their family — and by extension, our family — this past Friday, June 22, with the birth their new son — and by such measure my new nephew. By all accounts little Nathan is happy, healthy, and (as of last report) safe at home. We’ve got near-future plans to travel down to visit… I won’t say when.

Claire has a new cousin. We’ve got a new nephew. My folks have a new grandson. And my brother is a dad once again.

I’m sure you’ll be hearing more about this as the years roll on, but for now… just a quick congrats.
