Telling our family and friends

This week we started to tell our family and friends the big news. It is fun, but then again if you think about, everyone knows that we had sex (sorry, just had to throw that in there).

I called my father, and said "Hello Grandpa Snyder." His reaction was, "Are you trying to tell me something?" and he broke into laughter. When I spoke with my Uncle Dick, I called him Great Uncle Dick and he responded, "yeah, I know I am a good uncle." Then he got it.

A friend from Lake Forest sent me this email back after I sent him the link to the blog:

I'm not sure what's more frightening... you, the sign of balance,
Mr. One More Cocktail, you being a father, or you blogging about it
from the very beginning. Regardless of all my irreverent fears,
congratulations to you and Melanie!

While a friend from the 'hood sent an email saying:

I knew it. you guys were just playing it so cool. First, you start talking about doctors at Jefferson and then Melanie orders de-caf at Bennas. Come on, DE-CAF. You can't fool a fool.

I am starting to notice more kids in South Philly and around the city. I guess that this happens when you are expecting one of your own.
