April Fool?

So we have an April Fools baby, and all of you that know my family know just how fitting that is! Joseph Austin made April 1st by 18 minutes! 6 lbs 12.5 oz, a tiny one for us, though 21 inches is standard, lol. Jessica, (Austins wife.) had a hard day, labor was intensive and they had to induce her twice.
As some of you are also aware I have been very worried about Austin for some time. He was not hanging out with a great crowd and Jessica and him were playing lots of childish games with each other. Youth has a great deal to do with that, they are both 18. Austins home life was never really conducive to making a stand up man, but he moved to Arizona, married Jessica and now has a baby. I am hoping with all my heart that he has really gotten a grip on things and has come to realize that he has responsibilities. We had many late night conversations about what it means to be a man, a husband and most importantly a daddy. I know he really wanted this baby and though he is young I know he has the heart for it. I am very excited to have been made a second cousin for the second time this year!
Just after Valentines day my cousin Harley from the other side of the family gave us a beautiful little girl Mazzy! A 9 pounder too!!! I have a beautiful family!
