Just when I thought this week couldn’t get any more exciting, I am happy to share the good news that my sister Andy and her husband Besnik have welcomed their son Ardian Cook Demoli into the world.

Ardian is a big kid apparently. Like 10 pounds big. I have already warned Alden and Kato to defer to his wishes at family reunions. I have not met Ardian, and won’t until I get back from the tundra, but from the look in his mother’s eye, he seems to be a likable fellow.

Welcome, Ardian. Congratulations, Andy and Bes. We love you all.
