AVA- new arrival

So last night about 8:18 pm my sister, Shauna had her baby. A little girl they named Ava. Today we went and saw her and the happy family. Here are a few pics of the family and the new arrival.

They didn't know what they were having until Ava came out, but to be honest my bet was a girl and what can I say. She was 8 lbs 10 0z and 21 1/2 inches. Shauna and Ava are both doing great and hoping to go home tonight. I tried to get them to call her Jennifer or Ava Jennifer because we all know I am going to be her favorite, but for some reason they said no. I can't see why not, I like the name. :) Any way I hope you enjoy the pics. I will keep you updated on my new adorable niece. Now I have 11 nieces and 5 nephews.... girls rule I guess.

Trip to Virginia

Kimi, Mom, and I went to Virginia about a week and a half ago to visit Derek, April and Family for Ember's Baptism. She got baptized on Saturday Feb. 21st . It was so great to be there with her along with her family and April's parents from California. I also got to meet my two nieces that were born last April: Gracie and Violet. They are pretty adorable I must say as are the other kids: Ember, Abigal and Andrew. It was fun to be there and visit. Our trip wasn't exactly how we planned because lots of people got sick including myself and so there was no being a tourist for me, but Kimi and Mom saw the Lincoln Memorial (cute pic of them at the memorial) and a few other things so that was fun. I also got to see my old roomie and friend Char from college and spend some time with her, so that was great. Overall besides the sickness it was a fun trip and great to see the family.

Andrew, Ember, Abigail, Violet, and Grace after the baptism. The cookies were really good as you can see all of the kids have one.
As you can see it was a lot of fun and it was great to see the family again and some for the first time.
