Congratulations Ro & Merilee!!!

Rigo and I had the opportunity yesterday to visit our new niece, baby Ashilene! She was just 14 hours born when I got to hold her...and I started crying!!! I am so excited for them and I can't believe my big bro is a DADDY! I know he's going to be the best though, I can already see all the love in his eyes for his little angel. Merilee was amazing....pushed that 7 1/2 pound baby girl out all natural! Whew! I don't think I could handle that, so I definitely admire her for that one. Should have seen her yesterday, despite her crazy day before, she was totally glowing...what a cute Mommy! I forgot my camera =( so I'm going to have to steal pics from Ro later. I had such a good time visiting with them, playing with little Ashilene's toes and seeing her beautiful eyes open! I think every time a baby is born to someone we know, my anticipation grows for when our own baby will come in 3 months! I can't wait for these next 3 months to pass by (especially with the heat that's already starting up!)! It will be so fun to have all the little cousins playing together soon...and we are already talking about family vacations for next year so our kids can grow closer! How blessed we are to have family so close together that we can visit whenever we want! I love Ashilene and I can't wait to see her again! She is so beautiful!
