The Next of the Next Generation

My daughter has another son... no, no, she is not surprised. Are you? The brothers are unanimously ecstatic. They all love new babies, and can't stop bragging, as if it was their idea and their efforts that brought the new one home. This is son number five, grandson number eight, and grandchild number ten. For my parents, it is great-grandchild number 12. (Yeah, I am way ahead of my next-oldest sister in the grandchild game, and none of my other siblings have contributed yet, though we are expecting a new arrival from another quarter in December.) Could this bouncing baby be anything less than wonderful? Of course not. His name is Joshua Mark
