I'm an Aunt!

Today I gained a new title - Aunt Melissa! I am so excited. My little brother became a Daddy to a very sweet little girl. We are so excited for this new little family.

Congratulations Heather and Jon!

Proud Aunt

Happy Birthday, Grandma!

Milo and Peyton already have something in common. Peyton was born on our Mom's birthday and Milo was born on Casey's Mom's birthday. No one ever thought both Grandma's would be blessed with grandchildren on their birthdays. Pretty cool!

Things are going well here - very busy. The nights aren't too bad. Trying to settle into a routine as best we can. I dread the day Casey has to return to work and my parent's head back home. I know I will be fine, but the extra hands have been so helpful! Ian is loving Milo - he is the first person he asks about in the mornings. This morning I heard him peeking into the cradle saying, "Hi, Buddy." It brought a tear to my eye. I can't wait to see them grow up together.

My Boys

Mom and Bob taught us how to play Hand and Foot, so we have enjoyed playing cards each night before Milo wakes up for his first PM feeding. The other night he didn't want to go back to sleep - he knew he was missing out on something fun! We took turns holding him while we played cards and I couldn't resist taking a photo of Casey and Milo playing cards. Adorable!
