New Nephew!

Well, my sister and brother-in-law had their baby yesterday. Cayden Samuel Allen was born at 12:33 p.m. He weighed 7lbs. 15oz. and was 20.5" long. He has the most precious strawberry blond hair that I have ever seen. He looks like his mommy. Becca told me that he looks like he has my hands. Poor little guy will have the pudgiest fingers if that's the case! But he's absolutely adorable. My sister did wonderfully from what I can tell. A real trooper. She looked amazing right after, like she had not given birth at all!

Seeing my new nephew really makes me want another of my own. Like immediately. But I know we need to make sure we can get in a house and have the space for a newborn. Lexie wants a little sister, I definitely wouldn't mind a little girl :) But the thought of having another boy just melts my heart all over again. Honestly, either boy or girl, it will be the greatest gift to be able to bring it into this world with Justin by my side. That's going to be one lucky baby whenever it happens.

Speaking of a house...we have found a beautiful 4 bedroom/2 bathroom house in Helena that we absolutely love. We are hoping to have our down payment for serious buying next weekend. If that house is still on the market, I do believe we will make an offer. Other than that one, there are about 5 others we plan on looking at between now and next weekend. We just have to make sure there is plenty of space for our family and a good backyard for the kids and Sully to be able to play in. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

I'm ready for this weekend...I need some good family time and we are also going to Justin's parents to have a "pool cleaning" party to get the pool ready for swimming. I'll be spending a lot of time there this summer! So excited! We are determined to get Ethan used to the water this year. Lexie swims like a fish already, Ethan just needs to follow suit.

Until next time...take care.
