Welcome Baby Danika

My sister, Brooke, and her husband, Andy, just had their first baby yesterday. What a cutie pie she is!

Welcome to our family, little Danika Christine. We love you to pieces already.

Rylee and Lana actually got to go to the hospital twice to visit today. They went once with my mom this afternoon and once tonight with our family. This picture is from the daytime visit. They were so excited to meet their new cousin for the first time.

My mom and dad with their newest grand baby. They are obviously as in love with this sweet little one as the rest of us.

Lana snuggling baby Danika tonight. (Notice the wet hair and pajamas. Yup, I made them all take baths and get nice and clean before we took them up to the hospital. No germy kids allowed!)

Bill holding Baby Danika. He loves babies possibly even more than I do. He couldn't wait to see her. He was so anxious all day at work to be able to go visit after he got home. Once he got to hold her though, he didn't dare hold her too close because he got SOAKED running into the hospital from the parking lot. It was pouring so hard. So he dropped the rest of us off at the door and met us inside. What a guy!

Me and Hayden snuggling the sweetheart. You forget so quickly how tiny they are when they are born.

Rylee can't get enough of her.

Hayden loved her too. He couldn't wait to hold her. Check out the grin on that kid's face. Do you think he's thrilled with his new cousin?

And the grand finale is definitely the proud new parents with their little angel baby.

Congratulations Brooke and Andy. She is beautiful! You will be excellent parents. We love you all so much!
