Congratulations Dianne and Fernando ... and Diego!

I just wanted to give a shout-out to my cousin Dianne and husband Fernando on the birth of their son Diego Alejandro yesterday. They are now officially first-time parents!

This is the cousin that is currenly living and working in London ... a fact that made me a little uneasy after those terrible transit bombings six days prior. But I'm happy to report that Mommy, Daddy and baby are all happy, healthy and safe.


Dianne, before the birth, obviously. Why can't our hospitals have views like this? (07/05)

She'll probably want to kill me for posting this picture of her — taken before the birth, if you can't tell. Then again, that's just the risk you take when you send pictures to a blogger! :)


Daddy Fernando with Baby Diego ... just one day old! (07/14/05)

Diego weighs in at 7 lbs. and 8 ounces. Congratulations on the latest addition to our big family!
