In the year or so that I didn't post anything to LJ, many things happened that I would have posted about had I not gotten out of the habit. Here's one of them.
My niece (
whom I mentioned here, when I was talking about getting a great-niece) did manage to escape her teenage years without having a baby. She was, in fact, 21 when her son was born. At some point she and Luis, the boy's father, are planning on getting married, but they're in no particular hurry at the moment. I see pics of Luis Jr. on FB with some regularity, though we've only seen him in person twice--once shortly after he was born, and once at Christmas. He's a chunk. Spouse and I got niece and SO a copy of "Go the Fuck to Sleep" for Christmas, which they enjoyed greatly.
