Mhyia: Our new nephew!!

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

Our new nephew!!

Mike's sister had her second child - a baby boy!! Meghan now has a baby brother. He weighed in at 10lbs 3oz - soooooo cute and kissable!!!

I am also so excited that there are still some little ones in our family - it will be so nice for Mhyia to have so many cousins around her age to play with!!

Mom and baby are doing well and Uncle Mike and I can not wait to go kiss and hug him!!! Here are a couple of pics - sorry not great quality pics - they are from my ipod!!
