Introducing....

Yay! She's finally here!  Aubrey Norma Jean took her own sweet time joining the family, but when she decided to arrive, she did so in a rush on July 10, 2012.  She weighed in at 7 lb. 13 oz. and definitely belongs to this family, as she looks exactly like Colin and Addy did at that age.

But first...let's back up.  While we were all anxiously waiting out the ten days, the whole family did some exciting things to make the time pass (and hopefully to bring on labour!).  I was lucky enough to join them at Tinkertown on a glorious day.  The only complaint came from Addy, who loved each ride so much she didn't want to leave it to go to the next one.  Tinkertown is the perfect place for this age group.

And then, the big day came.  No one was sure it was the big day at all as Aubrey had teased before.  But after a quick trip to the hospital, she arrived in time for dinner.  Colin and Addy were delighted to meet her the next day, and have been loving older siblings ever since.  Aubrey has had many visitors, including her local cousins.  I am sure she will have many more!

Once again, we realize how blessed we are, and what a miracle we hold in our arms.  Welcome Aubrey.
