Uncle Aaron

I am now officially an uncle! My wife's oldest brother just had a baby girl yesterday! And to honor me, they gave her the middle name of Erin. Ok, ok, so his wife's middle name is Erin too... But unfortunately because of finals we probably won't get up there until the middle of May to see the little baby. Still, it is quite exciting for all involved - there have been baby preparations and excitement going on for months here. My wife even sewed a big wall hanging for the baby, and finished it yesterday, appropriately enough. It features Noah's ark (appropriate for a pastor's baby, yes?), with pairs of elephants, giraffes, penguins, ducks, and monkeys holding fish in the water. It's quite nonsensical, really, but very cute! That is what it looks like, at right.
