Welcome, Alex!


We've got a new arrival in the family. My sister and her husband just had their baby, Alex, on Sept. 18th. He is an absolute sweetheart, and Elena just loves him. She can already say his name.
Here they are meeting for the first time. Elena is pointing out his eye. (Why must it always be the eye??)

And here she is giving him a kiss.


In honor of the new baby, 2 of our best friends from the ol' Cottonwood days, Mandy and Alissa, came down to visit with their Mom (Deb is pictured above). The 4 of us girls grew up like sisters, and now we've all had babies in the last 17 months. It was so fun to see all the babies in their different stages - we had a newborn, a roller, a crawler and a toddler.
Here we are! (Mandy is standing with Sophie, and Alissa has Markelle (who was sleeping)).
And here's Elena working on sharing with Markelle.
Be ready for lots more baby pictures in the future. My "women I know who are pregnant" list was up to 25 at one point. It's actually been maintaining itself right around 20 because every time someone has a baby, it seems someone else gets pregnant. Looks like all the Baby Boomers' kids are starting a baby boom of their own. What fun!
