It's 4:30 in the morning, and I have yet to get any sleep. I hope all of my American friends had a happy 4th. To my other friends, I hope you had a wonderful Monday. Is there even such a thing?

 I've been browsing flickr in my sleeplessness, and realized I had yet to post the photos of the newest addition to our family. Meet my cousin's son, baby Austin. He's a most handsome little boy.

It's so strange to see my cousin become a mother. We grew up together, making silly pacts to live next door to one another as adults. Even going so far as to draw up floor plans for our matching house. Oh, I know. We had a lot of crazy thoughts and had to channel our nine year old creativity into a project. Funny how things happen so differently than you expected when you were young. I cannot wait to see how Austin grows.
