This is my nephew, Parker.

On December 17th, my brother, Hank and his wife Christie had their baby,

Jonathan Parker Norwood

5lb 12 oz, 19 in

(Man, he's adorable!)

Hmmmm..... Hank was never that gentle with me when we were kids.


The loving father.

The same guy used to give me pickle juice to drink.

Looks just like Hank. I've seen him make that face a thousand times growing up.

Congratulations, Hank and Christie! I can't wait to come and see him!

Andrew Bradley Cavender

Happy birthday, Andrew!

My identical cousin, only she looks 100 times better than I did after delivering a baby (can you say panda bear eyes? 'cause I sure had them.) had a handsome baby boy today, September 20 at 6:56 AM. He is 7 lb 8 0z.

I guess we can open the envelope, now.

I met Emily my first week of my freshman year at Mississippi State University. She was transferring as a junior and she took me under her wing. She is truly one of my favorite people!

Jay Nash McCrary

My cousin Lu and his wife, Katie, had their handsome baby boy, Nash, on July 18th. Technically, Nash is my 2nd cousin on his daddy's side, but I'm gonna ask if I can be an "unofficial" aunt. I'm all about the title. You can see more pictures and get more info at their blog and you don't have to wade through any of my commentary. You know me, I get off track rather easily.




On a side note: All these sweet babies give me a little bit of baby fever. It's a low grade fever, but it's there nonetheless. The pictures make me a little teary-eyed, because I remember how precious those moments are. I tried holding my neighbors' 5 month old, you know, just to get my baby fix, but then I hugged him and smelled him and then he smiled at me, and I just melted. I found myself eyeing the baby clothes and all the new stuff they have for babies and I sighed. (Sigh) Of course, I think I feel like this because my kids slept in until after 9:00 am this morning and I've forgotten how sleeplessness feels. Maybe I should just concentrate on keeping my kids' feet from getting sucked into escalators instead of having more babies.......

Alexander James Kingdon

Congratulations to my friend Stacey Kingdon and her husband and little Andrew on their newest addition Alexander James, born July 12th! Stacey is my friend from our days in San Antonio.
I haven't seen her since we left, but we've kept in touch with email and the phone, that's right, I said the phone. Anyway, we'll be heading that way in August for a mini-vacation. Maybe somebody should warn her.........
