oh baby!

i am officially an aunt of three!

my nephew preston was born this past week, and i'm just now getting around to blogging about it (stupid finals).
for the past 9 months i've been telling alex & susan (my brother & sister in law) that i wanted a towhead nephew. we were all almost certain that would be the case.
but baby preston has other plans. while he is definitely a bit of blonde, the first thing i noticed is that his hair is close to the same color as mine...
we have a cute little redhead on our hands, folks. and perhaps it will grow into blonde as he gets older (probably), but either way, i'm happy as a clam to finally not be the only redhead in the family.

grandpa steve.

preston & his gorgeous aunt ray.

poor kylie, grace & matthew were too young to get to hold him.

they met him by looking through the nursery.

matthew, as you can see from his face, is still warming up to the idea of his aunties having ANOTHER nephew...

he has been very fond of being the only nephew/the most spoiled these past 5 years :)

aunt casie.

i almost cried holding the little one.

he is so...so precious.

beautiful boy.

i think my whole family will never forget the day preston was born. it was all so funny...susan had her baby shower just 2 days before, and at easter dinner the next day, everyone kept saying, "oh if only he would come early, so jason's family could meet him before they move to texas." we all had our fingers crossed.

and what do you know, susan went into labor driving back to logan from easter dinner. he couldn't have had better timing! already such an obedient little boy :)

congrats to my brother & sister in law on a job well done...he is a stud muffin!
