I'm an aunt!!

My older sister had her baby this weekend; it is so exciting, especially since she is the first of both Ryan's and my siblings to give us a little rug rat to spoil!! The first photo I saw of him, it was instant obsession. He has my sister's nose; how could I not immediately love him??

Here he is:



His name is Callum Michael McKenna. Apparently, Callum is a common name in Ireland and Scotland (as is McKenna), and Michael is my dad's name.



My dad hadn't planned on going to see the baby for a couple of weeks, but it seems that the first photos of Cal had the same effect on my father as they did on me: My dad hopped on a plane and surprised my sister for a two-day visit. He'll go back in a few weeks and stay for about a week.

  5. My sis had her baby last weekend too. My parents called us at 1am to say she was in labor. Her husband called at 3am to say it was a boy and then Tyson woke up at 5am. I felt like I had my own newborn again!
