Being an Aunt....RULES!

This past weekend John and I ventured out to Phoenix to visit my sister, her husband, and my new (well 8 week old) niece, Marguerite Anne- aka Margo. I was so excited to meet the little beauty in real life- and it was an amazing weekend. This is the first grandchild on my family's side- and if you couldn't tell- we are all over the moon.

She's real cute. And by "real cute"- I mean cutest baby EVER! She's sweet, cuddly, giggly, smiley, with minimum fussiness- or at least that's what this aunt experienced. :)  We had a great weekend hanging out, taking LOTS of pictures- courtesy of John, and even went out for sushi. Margo is so well rounded- she's skipping McDonald's and heading straight for the fancy stuff!

*** Note- these are not the pictures John took- these are courtesy of my handy, dandy Blackberry that I love and everyone else hates.

Cheers! Celebrating babies is fun!

Of course- it wouldn't be a proper welcome into the family without some toasting...and some cold beer.

Baby Love

Exactly 10 days ago a miracle was born. She stole all of our hearts the moment she entered the world.

My niece, Marguerite Anne, is such a treasure- and I haven't even met her yet. If I could fly through my phone-she would be overwhelmed with kisses and hugs.

Here are a few snaps that my brother-in-law, sister, and parents have sent me. I'm sure you will be in love too! :) Only 7 more weeks till my flight to Phoenix....

Mama Lindsey and Baby M- moments old

I spy a beer...

9 days old and pretty as can be

PS- this was the quote my brother in law, Kyle sent me the day she was born

 "The coldest beer I ever had was in the hospital after my daughter, Marguerite Anne was born.     Cheers!"

Yes, we will cheers to that!

And we will also drink beer anywhere.
