Sophia the Cynic was born at 11:30 on sunday night. She’s healthy and beautiful and perfect. So is her mom. Becoming a dad never gets old. 🙂

Many congratulations to the **Cynic** family! Sophia is a beautiful name!

Although, with three women in the house, something tells me in about 10 or 12 years, Diogenes may have to change his user name to **Diogenes\_the\_Never\_Getting\_to\_Use\_a\_Bathroom\_In\_His\_Own\_House!** 😉
