It's a Boy!

I'm an aunt for the seventh time! My sister had her second child last Thursday. Emmitt David Brown came into the world July 17 at 7:20 a.m. He weighed 7 pounds 1 ounce and was 20 inches long, the exact same as big sis Evie.
My brother-in-law, Josh, and Evie admiring Baby Emmitt. And yes, if you ask Josh, he was named in honor of Emmitt Smith. My sister, Andrea, just wanted a cute "E" name, so she let Josh's dream come true. Josh even brought his Emmitt Smith football jersey to the hospital and had his lucky Emmitt Smith football card in his pocket during the birth.
Evie, Emmitt, and Aunt "K-K"
We celebrated Emmitt's birthday with cake. My sister had the cute idea of singing Happy Birthday to Emmitt to help include Evie in Emmitt's arrival. She suggested cupcakes, but Aunt "K-K" opted for a personalized mini-cake. I had to later apologize for the pink icing. Sorry, Josh, it was the only one the bakery had!

Emmitt we're so glad you're finally here! We love you little guy!

It's Official...

Well, it's official. I'm a blogger. I've always enjoyed reading other people's blogs, but thought I didn't have time or wasn't "techy" enough to do it. I know all of you who have kids want to throw something at me because I said I don't have time. I finally dismissed all my arguements and caved. My schedule's is pretty full, but if I have time to watch The Hills, I have time to share a glimpse into my life. I am 26 years old and can't text message (gasp!), but I'm not 80 and did grow up in the information age, so I can learn. My sister-in-law, Amy, had some of the girls in our Bunco group over for dinner and Blogging 101. Amy's a good teacher and dinner was great. Thanks Amy!

Leah, Alison, and myself working on our blogs. My back's to the camera because I was probably too dazed and confused to notice . We ended the night with Alison's yummy cookies!
