I failed to mention this earlier, but I have a new cousin! She was born August 10, 2006 down south. Here is one of the first pictures of Claire Lorraine with her mommy (my dad's sister). Claire was 7 pounds, 5 ounces and was 19 inches long. She was bigger than me at that time (and I was almost 4 weeks old then), but I had more height.

The other picture shows Claire with her big brother Brayden. He looks happy to see her here and hopefully the good times will last. My dad says he and Claire's mommy used to have epic battles when they were growing up. I have to remember to talk to the Grandparents about that.

Everyone is back home and doing fine. Hopefully I will get to see them in person soon. Until then, we'll just keep swapping photos. Welcome to the family Claire.
