Recently two very special people were brought into the world by 4 very special people! We could not be more excited about these little bundles of joy!
On September 16th, our good friends Jacquee and Chris Layton welcomed Cooper Christopher Layton. He is just the cutest thing ever and I can not wait to get to Seattle to meet him, and steal cuddle him ;)
3 Days later on September 19th, our newest niece, Lauren Paige McCollum, was born to Cassie and Joe McCollum. Jim and I were lucky enough to be one of the firsts to meet her. She is already so alert and aware of her surroundings and I can't wait for more snuggle time with her! Thankfully Joe and Cassie live here so I won't have to resort to kidnapping for some quality time with her.
side note #1: if you are keeping track of the McCollum brood thus far that makes 4 girls and 1 boy...Gabe is less than thrilled with these numbers :)
Sidenote #2: If you are an avid follower of this blog (and why wouldn't you be) you will know about the struggle that is Jim and hospitals. I am happy to report Jim voluntarily went to the hospital to meet Lauren. Once he learned it was still going to be awhile before we got to see her, he left to buy Joe some congratulatory liquor and throw up get some fresh air. I will say he did make it back in and seemed at ease holding a barely 2 hour old baby; so all in all I will take that as a win. Baby steps, people, baby steps!
Hospitals: 285- Jim: 2
Luckily we have quite a few more friends having babies in the upcoming months so this score could even out a little.
Congratulations Jacquee and Chris and Cassie on Joe on your perfect additions to your family. Jim and I are over the moon excited for you!
