About this time last year I had gone to visit Jonny, Elizabeth, and Elliot. Just before I left, Elizabeth referred to me as "Uncle Mark". She was the first person to say that to me and it really touched me that she was saying that in reference to her son.
As of last Friday, my sister in-law was three months pregnant. I found out the first week, but it didn't start to really hit me till this week. Mike and Christine went public with their great news, and lots of people at work have called me Uncle Mark this week. It's really cool to think that my brother is gonna be a father. It kinda blew my mind when Jonny was going through this, but for some reason it's crazier to think about MY BROTHER as a DAD. I know he and Christine will be great parents. But this is the guy that used to walk down the hall pretending to be a robot and scare the crap out of me.
