New Munchkins

My sister-in-law just gave birth two days ago to a new baby boy! Nick and I have another nephew! Joseph Guatano Factora was born a big 8lbs and some ounces at 3:30am May 14, 2008. A big congrats to Lisa and Nick Feczko for their bouncing bundle, Andrew who was born this week as well! […]
