...and so it begins...

This, folks, is my cute chubby nephew and his wonderful mother:) And I would have to say that this picture is my favorite picture...EVER...of anything. First of all, my sister Shawna is amazingly beautiful, and second, Kallen is the cutest baby I've ever seen. The look on Shawna's face says it all. I don't have to tell you how happy she is; you can see it. And who wouldn't be. I think motherhood brings out even more beauty in her. I can't tell you how happy I am for them, mostly because it's kinda hard to type when your eyes are swimming in tears, and partly because, and I know it's quite cliche, but there are no words to describe it. All I can say is I'm grateful for adoption :). It's taken them years to get to this point. I already love that kid, even though I've only seen pictures of him. I can't wait to meet him. This picture just makes me want to snuggle with him and feel his soft skin. His skin looks so soft. I LOVE BABIES!! Yes, I'm a little crazy :).

Anywho, not much else is going on. Just work and school. But we do have something very fun to look foward to. We're going to visit my l'il sis Kelly and her husband Andrew in Alabama in March. Kelly, Andrew & Ryan all have the same week off for spring break, wahoo!!!! I've never gone anywhere for spring break and I haven't had a spring break for many years. :) I couldn't believe my work let me go since it's a pretty busy time. But I'm not going to say anything! I'm so excited. Hopefully we'll have our camera by then so I can take pictures. I've missed my camera. I need new pictures to look at.

I hope you all enjoy looking at this amazing picture. Because I sure do.

By the way, Scott, if you're reading this, when we get there in July, I want to take some family pictures. And I want some of Ryan and I that aren't of our wedding and that are professional. A'ight? Love you:)
