Congratulations to my brother Ed and his wife Maria. They welcomed baby number 4 to their family last night at 11:49 pm on 7-8-9! It was a wild house as we waited for his arrival. I brought their 3 little ones and Maria's sister's little Ellie over for the day and added them to my kids and two other cousins on Brendan's side who are spending a week with us. Not sure I would want 9 kids of my own anytime soon.
The little one doesn't have a name yet so we are anxiously awaiting that announcement. What sounds good with Noah, Taya, and Ian? Decisions! Decisions! To me he looks a little bit like Ian, a little bit like Taylor and even a little bit like Jordan did as a baby. It will be so great for him to meet his grandma and grandpa Sanches for the first time exactly two weeks from today! So grateful that Maria is doing good (well, as good as can be expected following natural childbirth) and that the baby is just perfect. What a blessing!
Lots of fun times just ahead. Lots of fun times just had too! The 4th of July was one of the best ones ever! Plus we have two different cabin trips to blog about. One of these days I'll have to stop having so much fun and actually sit down and document them.
