The New Kid on the Block


Me with Milo at the Northshore Private Hospital

I never get phone calls from my brother especially when I'm at work, only when its important or when he is in the area and wants to meet up for lunch. 

We last spoke on the phone on a Saturday and he mentioned that April 10 is the due date of his wife. That should be today, but last friday while I was at work he kept calling. I didn't notice right away that he was calling coz my mobile is always on silent. I knew there was something important going on. So i decided to ring him back and there he said that Ate Myke was already in labor and about to give birth anytime. That means my new nephew is ready to come see the world on April 4. 

I was so excited to hear that and wanted to leave the office right away. I like having new "pamangkins", is there a word for that? All I have are nieces, five of them, all pretty and smart. This is the reason why I am so excited to see Milo, by the way thats my new nephews name, because he is my first nephew. 

I cant wait for him to walk and talk. We will have lots of good times together for sure. I can teach him all i know about Soccer, Tennis, Cars, Drive etc. I will be his favorite uncle, i'll make sure of that. I am  also pretty sure my father is ecstatic to  have Milo coz he is the first one to carry on the AviƱante name. I bet my dad will come over to Sydney soon to see The New Kid on the Block.

yes, I am as excited as you are about Milo and I am really dying to see him in person. But there are yet so many things to fix before I can go there, like my health, the house, etc. but I am sure God permitting I will have the chance in my life to hold and touch my first grandson, the bearer of the AviƱante flag.
