Our Growing Family

We are very happy to announce that our family is adding a member.

Not our nuclear family (for once), but our extended family. Raluca's brother Iuli and his wife Geanina are expecting their first baby at the beginning of October.

This is particulary exciting for me, since this is the first time that I will get to experience the birth of a nephew or neice. (By brothers have already experienced this twice and Raluca has once when her older brother's son was born ten years ago.)

Unfortunately we will be in the US when the baby is born, although we should be back in Romania before he (or she) is a month old.

Our living situation will be intersting, since we live with Iuli and Geaninia (and my mother-in-law) in a four room apartment here in Criaova. Come next winter there will be 5 adults and three children aged four and under living here.
