My cousins -- the brilliant, beautiful, gracious Elizabeth and her nearly as brilliant, artistic, good-natured, loving husband Christopher -- introduce their most recent collaborative effort, Aria Elizabeth Rose, born approximately 5 PM today, 18 July 2012. Weighing in at 7 lb 2 oz, reaching 21", she's a contendah!
That's Aria, as in Ahh-Ree-Ahh, not as in Air-Ree-Uh as some plebeians from Noo Joisey pronounce it. Pronounced it, that is, until the mild-mannered English-teacher paternal grandfather hung the dialect-offender by his ankles from the hospital room's fourth-floor window. Fortunately for all involved, the resolute paternal grandmother realized the draft might be uncomfortable for the mother and child and brained the grandfather with a bed-pan, which the the musically inclined babe recognized as a clear F-sharp peal.
Note the little teddy bear slippers. ---->
And that's a wrap...
