Excuse me a moment while I freak the hell out

Great. Uncle. Jon.

I'm hardly old enough to be a father in my mind. Now my niece went and got married and then made one of these! Holy crap! Lookit th' lil' bugger!

So now I'm a great uncle. My father is a great grandfather, mother a great grandmother. My grandmother is a great great grandmother.

My SISTER is a GRANDMOTHER. This is the woman who taught me how to ride horse, and to do the alphabet and a little bit of how to read. Who I remember joyriding with her and her other teenage friend to the beach, when she was babysitting me. Now she's Grandma Amy!

I remember when Rebecca was born! I remember fighting with her when she was four and I was ten and as most four year olds, she knew how to get under my skin.

I just got my driver's license like...yesterday... 16 years ago...how can I be a great uncle??

congratulations to all of you, and I'm sure that's a lucky baby to have so many relatives that are close to each other! what a cute baby.

and, pardon me, but dizamn you all have young families. My dad was 45 when I was born, and at 33 I'm a mere slip of a lass too young for a husband.
