Uncle, um, again!

Pretty sure I just posted something not too long ago entitled Uncle Again.  Maybe I didn't but I'm fairly certain I titled it that.  Well, today I got the news via Dave who got it via the Facebook which confirmed his statement to me as soon as he said it that Laura had her baby today.  Violet Mae Bloomfield.  I would love to tell you the time of delivery and how long she was but I cannot, I am not a woman and these details just don't stick in my brain.  I am happy to say however that the baby weight is stuck in my mind.  This is a first.  i don't even remember the weight of my own children.  I know, I am a terrible father.  Anyhow, 7 pounds 11 ounces.  Now, the reason I know this is quite simple.  It is my favorite score in Ping Pong.  That comes from a fierce competitor on the Ping Pong table, Bruce Hansen of the Las Vegas LDS Institute of Religion who would always make the call "7-11, watch the corners" and then he would deliver an amazing serve that would graze the corner of the table.  I use that same saying myself and do my best to deliver a killer serve to the corner. Beautiful stuff.  I can only assume that Violet Mae is equally as beautiful.  I'm sure she is much more beautiful and apparently perfect, like her mother - at least that is what the post said.  Anyway, very excited for Laura and Nigel and this new addition to their family.  Always proud to perform my duties as an uncle and will serve to the best of my ability in this capacity.  Wonderful day!
