It seems as if the demands to be a better friend by those who have claimed I don't call, don't write, don't visit, and don't post on my blog have finally affected me to the point that I am giving in. Well, at least the posting part.
Despite having laid awake countless nights composing in my mind what would be my next post, inevitably containing the most recent "Huntsman Happenings" -- because it's only fair that we keep everyone updated -- I don't want this blog to become foremost an online diary of what's happening in Joslyn & Brad's life, but to be a compilation of overly dramatic and exaggerated narratives, seasoned with random updates of what is going on in the beautiful Park of Machesney.
To humor those who have adamantly requested a new post (ahem, Shannon), here you go:
Brad and I would like to announce the birth of our new niece, Abigayl JoAnn Combs, born July 25, 2006. Included in the body of this text is the only photo of her we have been privileged to view -- from the hospital's public website. You'd think the child was the spawn of Katie & Tom with how secretively her image has been kept even from immediate family members! I will be sensitive to the fact that not everyone has a digital camera, or the time to scan photos, but it's been 2 1/2 weeks and Auntie Joslyn is coming down with the shakes from the anxiety and belief that I have certain rights not available to others being that I am the Aunt. I think Brad's family should be counting their lucky stars right now that we don't live any closer and that they have at least 4 hours notice to prepare for my arrival when I get the bee in my bonnet to go see my niece. If we did live any closer, I could be at that house every moment I had free just to be near that baby and to make sure she knew I was her Auntie Joslyn and that no matter how crazy I am, nothing could ever change that (insert half-hearted evil laugh, as not to scare the baby)!
