Bienvenue au monde, mon petit!

My cousin just had a baby. A boy, named Emile. (Papa is French, and plans only to speak French with the skidoo. Lucky punk.)

I only have 3 first cousins, and she's the first of all us grandkids to breed, so my family is all abuzz.

So, this kid, he's my ... first cousin, once removed? Is that right?

Going to see the new baby on Sunday, and I promise to be honest about if he is frog-like or alien-like or actually cute.

I really like Emile, too. I am a teeny bit worried for him when he gets to middle school that people are going to tease him for having a girl's name, because Emily is überubiquitous and Emile is almost unheard of in the States, but he'll be able to mock the other kids in two languages, so he'll probably be fine.
