Veronika Maria

My friends Bart and Dominika tied the knot in April of last year. I was really happy when they asked me to be a groomsman in their wedding, and ever since it's been a pleasure seeing them start a new chapter in their lives together.

Fast-forward 10 months, they are now the proud parents of Veronika Maria.



I dropped by their house this evening to meet their newborn. I'm really impressed by how quickly they've come to this point in their lives, considering they're pretty much as old as me. When I arrived, Bart told the baby that "Uncle Alex" is here to visit. Although I'm not related to either Bart or Dom, for some reason, close friends of Polish families are considered Aunts and Uncles by the children.

Here's "Wujek Alek":
