Wahoo for New Baby Cousins!!

This is our newest nephew/cousin...Baby Zachary. He entered the world on Sunday, September 21st at 11:43 pm...and he is so cute!!
His proud siblings and dad. Since it was so late, they decided that his other brother Benjamin (age 2) could meet him later.

My sister is amazing, this pregnancy was not the funnest for her. At the beginning she had to have shots every day...as if just being pregnant isn't hard enough! She also had 4 extra people living in her home (us!) to deal with on top of everything. Of course, after all she had to deal with she has a beautiful baby boy! My mother, who lives pretty close to my sister, happened to be over the mountains at our house for a work conference. Well, as soon as she was done Sunday evening we drove over to be with Valerie (and so Grandma could meet her 11th grandchild!) We finally got some sleep around 1 am and had to get up at 5 am to head back over to Yakima in time for her to attend the remainder of the conference. It was a super quick trip...but we wouldn't have missed it for anything! We are both so glad that we could be there to meet him, though bed time will be early tonight.

We have had a cousin explosion in our family lately. Annika in February, Madison in June, Beckham in August and now Zachary in September. The next baby will be ours...but that still seems a long time away!
