Me and Lee- land

I love holding my new nephew. You know what the best part is? I have absolutely no desire to have another baby. (Tim is wiping his brow as he reads this). It is so much fun to have a baby in the family again. Since the last four all came within 20 months of each other, it's nice to just have one to focus on and love. Does he not look like he is smiling in this one? That's because Aunt Lura gave him the best gift of all, chocolate!

BTW, he is wearing an ultra cool "Spam" onesie the we got him for Christmas!

Introducing my new nephew...

born at 1:41 am yesterday. He weighed 7 lbs. 9 oz. Everyone is doing well.

He was born just an hour or so after his great grandfather passed away. Please keep Lynden and her family in your prayers as this is a bittersweet time for them.

Aunt Sonny's visit Part I

Happy 12th Birthday Jacob!

Jacob made me an aunt. This is my birthday tribute to the boy who told me that he would never be too old to sit on my lap. He broke that promise this past Monday night (I'm not sure if it's because he's too old, or because I had beans for supper...hmmmm).


(Tyler thinks that this is him in the pictures with mommy.)
