Welcome to the World

I was walking down the halls at the school yesterday at 11:00, when I saw my mom walking towards me real fast. She said, "We're gonna have another little girl born on October 16th"!! Elise is in labor! I was SO excited. Mom left work to be with Elise and to watch her 8th great grand-baby be born.

Congratulations Chad & Elise!!!!!

The Daddy & Momma

Welcome to the world, Amaiya Julianna!
She was born at 3:30 pm.

6lbs 11 oz. 19 inches long

Big brother, Nate & Big sister, Natie. Nate has nicknamed Amaiya...Yaya...too cute!


Great Grandma



Gigi with her newest grand-baby.




Papaw (my brother Chad) with his newest little girl.



Auntie Em with Yaya. She left school to see her be born. She spilled her sprite on her cell phone...she got lost on the way to the hospital...but she made it in time.



Natie holding the sister she has been so excited to meet.



It's really neat because Amaiya is the first child in our family to be born in October in 19 years. There are 34 grandchildren (on my side) and 8 great grand children.
She shares her day with my little girl. What is even neater is...I had Tori at 2:15 pm and she weighed 6 lbs. 9 oz. So close in time & weight.
Tori had to go meet the little girl who now shares her birthday. Of course she had her camera and took a few great shots. I'm sure Elise will set up an appointment with Tori to take some photos.


I love this of Amaiya's feet. It's precious.

She has a lot of hair.




Happy Birthday to two beautiful girls!



Wow....this was one BUSY week!

How adorable!! We have a little one on the way in our family too. My sis is about 1/2 way through her pregnancy. I so wanted to be there when the little one made his/her appearance but that will be right about the time hubby is in the hospital with his transplant. Tori takes great pics -- maybe I should send her to Phoenix for me in February so I would be sure to have some pictures to appease my auntie sensibilities!! ;-)

She is beautiful! I don't think Oct is a popular baby month. Although my father was born this month. Now September is very popular in my family.

and the picture of mother and father holding the baby was priceless.
