It's a Girl!

After much anticipation past her due date, my beautiful little niece, Amelie Rose, finally popped out on July 30! She was 8 lbs. 5 oz and perfect as can be. Amanda is doing great and was a champ through everything. She is already an amazing mom. It is so fun to see my little sister have a little bundle of love all her own and be so madly in love with her.
We were all lucky enough to be there for the big arrival. The sex was unknown, but all of us guessed girl. Most adamantly was Blake though, he insisted it could only be a girl and that a boy wasn't even an option, very interesting.
We can't wait for our next visit with sweet, little Amelie. We love you baby girl!

Summer Fun

Since moving, our focus has been waiting for Amanda's baby to be born and for Daddy to finish up his fellowship in Alabama and move up to Maryland with us. Well all of that happiness came true about a week ago. Since then and before that, we haven't been too exciting. We were lucky to have 2 great visitors at our new house. Both Monie and Grammie came to see us and help get us all settled in-thank you!
We head to Florida soon and will take more pictures to try and wrap up this great summer.
Here are just a few pics and videos.

What a cool girl
