yaya!

no, i didn't watch the divine secrets of the yaya sisterhood..... that's what connor calls liela. since nic posted TONS of CUTE pics of liela, i am now free to post away. let me tell ya, i'm the good secret keeper in the family and even i had a hard time not telling liela's name. (nic told me and BARELY another soul.... i don't remember if she told any of her church friends) anyway, i knew for the longest time and i was constantly sucking my words back into my mouth b/c i would want to say, "this is for liela" instead of "this is for the baby".
ok, i have lots to do today, so this will have to hold you over until later.

grampa and granny b with the little peanut

liela and her favorite aunt chrissy
and yes, i am her favorite aunt chrissy....b/c her other aunt krissi is with a 'k'. we planned it that way so we could be the coolest!

grampa wore pink today b/c it's a girl! of course, i'm not sure if that was originally pink or if he just washed with a red sock on accident. i can't imagine him wearing pink, but since we've overhauled his fashion sense anything's possible. remember the days when he ONLY wore camo?

connor the big cousin.
he really didn't care about liela, he just wanted to push the buttons on aunt nic's bed.

all the kids

big sister kisses! she's a good helper already.
i was holding liela and ava came over to see. she leaned in real close and whispered to me, "sister's sleeping, shhhhh!"
