New Life...New Family Member

I love babies!!  I think I have always loved babies!!  I especially love babies that I can hold and love on and smell and cuddle, but with NO sleep deprivation!!  We finally got to meet the newest member of our family, Ryder, over Easter weekend.  We offered to watch him for a few hours while new Mommy & Daddy got away for a while...and we were so thankful they accepted!  We held and stared at him the entire time!!  And while we loved him from the minute he was born, we are head over heels in love with this little guy now that we have met him!  We are so happy for Brandie & Rusty and the beginning of their little family, and we are so grateful to have a new nephew to love!!

 Little R was very interested!  He isn't around babies very much, and we had to keep reminding him to be gentle, but he LOVED baby Ryder!!

 This melted my heart!!  While R is usually a very busy, rambunctious little boy, he can also be very gentle and loving...in small doses! : )

Uncle R says he's a keeper! 

 I may have taken more than my fair share of time with the little guy...but he was so sweet, and so tiny, and so cuddly!!

 A made sure that Allie got a little extra attention...her world has been turned upside down!

T giving Allie LOTS of extra lovin'...I think Allie felt special again!
