its-a-boy.jpgSo if Mark’s status messages on Facebook and Gmail are accurate, Jonas Elliot Van Steenwyk has finally arrived on Earth after nearly 8 years of Mark and Amy trying to conceive a child.  They were toying around with the process of adoption when this beautiful blessing decided to show up. Early word on the street is that Jonas was born weighing 7lbs, 12 oz. and is 21 3/4″ long.

Now let’s just hope Jonas turns out to be more like Amy than Mark. :)

Feel free to write them a congratulatory note or a joy-filled comment. Mark may kill me for posting this on his “According to Mark” section, so the more celebratory remarks the better. Otherwise, my chances of staying on as co-editor for more than a week fall drastically.

Congrats Mark and Amy! We’ll be expecting a picture soon.

    A friend of mine, ya know he's flat broke, just delivered me a fat cigar.
    It's a beautiful excuse for a celebrative smoke.

    Dear Mark and Amy,

    So wonderful to hear of Jonas's arrival. Congratulations and try to get some sleep :).

    Blessings from Montrose,

  • I have four kids. Here's advice:

    1)Convince the wife to breastfeed. This way you'll never have to prepare a bottle during football.
    2)You think the baby wants you to make funny faces at it. It doesn't. You're scary.
    3)There's tons of stuff to buy for babies. A couple things: Car seat, high chair, diapers. You's baby will puke on everything else.
    4) bean bag chairs are good for older babys.
    5) experts don't know anything. all kids are different. find out what works. (hint- find your kids weakness and exploit it)
