Hi Mark!

Annuntiamus vobis gaudium magnum: habemus Pippam!

We announce to you a great joy: we have a Pippa! 😉

Yes, our baby was born on May 13, the feast of Our Lady of Fatima, perfectly healthy! Her name is Philippa Jamie (her original due date was May 3rd, their feast day in the 1970 calendar). Clearly we cannot let her and Lucy in the same room–they would cause a Cuteness Singularity. Please thank your readers for all their prayers, and thank you for yours as well!

Sadly, Gentle Reader, it has been determined that we cannot release the photos of Cuteness II to the public because it will only inflame them with demands for more. Nor will we be releasing either short or long form birth certificates. If Pippa does ever run for President, I’m confident Congress will pass a law annexing Canada in order to grandfather her in as a citizen. I, for one, welcome our Adorable New Overlord (though she’s still got a way to go to match the megawattage of Cuteness I: The Ubertot!

But just consider Lucy as Pippa’s Cuteness Mentor and together they will soon rule Americanada with pudgy fists of adorableness and inaugurate a New Era of Shock and Awwwwwww.
