for steph

On November 13, 2008, baby Evan Alexander Athre was born. 6 lbs, 15 oz. On that day, our family forever changed. We joined together to celebrate the newest addition. The first grandchild. A little bundle of joy. My very first nephew. I can't wait to meet him!!

I feel that Harry Connick, Jr. said it best:

Now my heart is music
Such a simple song
Sing it again, the notes never end
This is where I belong

Just the sound of your voice
The light in your eyes
We're so far away from yesterday
Together with a wink and a smile
We go together like a wink and a smile
- "with a wink and a smile"

.

i'm an aunt!!

All day Thursday I was distracted by texts, phone calls, IMs, all updating me on the status of the birth of my first nephew.

After 14 hours of labor, Evan Alexander Athre was born by c section.

We're so super excited to welcome him to the family. I can't WAIT to get to Texas for Thanksgiving and meet him. I'm taking my camera - so photos are coming soon.

Welcome to the world Evan Alexander. You're going to LOVE it here.
