daily quote for your perusal

but I got to hold him first!Mandy arrived on February 2nd to BIG smiles from my kids awaiting her in the van as I loaded her "cargo" into the infant seat. I was pleased that the kids were as excited to see Mandy as they were her ADORABLE baby.

Zealand is very bright-eyed and alert. He's starting to give some sweet smiles and he has the cutest cry, but it rarely makes an appearance. He's very mellow and peaceful. Mandy is so blessed with him.
My brother Eric arrived at our house later and was so awestruck by his little nephew (and we celebrated his 29th birthday as well). There was a lot of picture taking while I was making dinner for everyone, but aparently very little of it was with my camera.
Cameron instantly snatched Zealand up and you could see it was love at first sight. All the men folk in the family have been very jealous of my mom and I, since we'd already met this little guy. They definitely got there fill here.

My dad, nephew Kyler and my mom couldn't wait one more day and they came up, too.
Mandy spent the night and the next day we held Zealand, gave him a bath and Ella got to hold her little cousin for nearly 40 minutes and even then wasn't too happy about giving him up. Isn't he cute?!?We can hardly wait to see him on Saturday and all feel a little sad for missing him. :(

Z looks he's happy to have Aunt Cami holding him. He must've missed you as much as you missed him. ;)

He's such a cutie!

That is so fun to have your sister and your new nephew come for a visit! She is lucky to have so many people love her little guy and help out with him. Have fun!
