My aunt is always on top of things. This year for Christmas Eve she had all the costumes to act out the first Christmas. They elected Randy and I to be Mary and Joseph since I am expecting. Ha! Anyway, the kids loved it. Ava was a sheep but wouldn't put on her hat and kept stealing baby Jesus and Bella was one super proud angel. Dinner was wonderful as usual and we had a blast singing and dancing after. Here is where I say it every year- There are five original granddaughters, plus eight great granddaughters on this side of the family. My cousin has a son, Bradley, but he is almost grown himself now so having a boy is still a shock! After eight consecutive girls, plus my sister's due in June, which will make nine, this little baby boy Eich is going to get a lot of love, dress up and who knows what else! We are going to need to find him some manly men to hang out with and many sports to play ;)
Bella was born on April 14th 2009 to two very proud parents. She is almost seven now! She is still very much in love with her Daddy and gets to spend lots of one-on-one time with him through Y-Guides. She also enjoys golf lessons after school once a week. She is doing well learning Spanish through the SPLASH program at her school where she is in the first grade Spanish Immersion class. She loves to dance and teach her little sister everything she knows!
Ava Hope joined us on the 4th of February 2012. She is quite the character and knows how to make us all laugh. She loves her big sister and misses her when they are apart. Her favorites are Minnie Mouse and Ariel. Everyday she surprises us with her sassy comments and wonderful memory!
Baby number three: Porter Noble came quickly on the 9th of May at 4:44 am. My labor and delivery was all less than an hour! He weighed 8lb 12oz and measured 20in. He is delightful and continues to bring great joy on a daily basis. He is learning and talking more each day and is ALL BOY!
Baby number four joined us on the 18th of January this year. Turner King was 6lbs 12oz, our smallest! He fits into the family perfectly and is very loved by his older sisters and big brother...
As for Randy and I... we met in 2006 at our job. We were southern girl and boy from Buffalo trying to make it work. It didn't take much! We couldn't live without each other and were engaged and married a short eight and eleven months later. The rest is what they call HISTORY and in this case, HER STORY...
