My new niece was born this morning at 9:40 am. She’s 6 lb 13 oz and 19 inches long. She has black hair and blue eyes. And her name is Darien.

Hey! congrats to you on Darien. Here’s her first kiss by a stranger XOXOXO. I’m gonna be three grandpas in a few hours. Gimme a kiss for Riley Olivia. (One for Nicky and Rinoa would be okay too.)
