Baby J.J. has arrived

Cindy and John are now the proud parents of Baby J! He was born on November 15, 2007 at 7:31 PM. He's the perfect size at 7 lbs 11oz and 19.5 inches long. Bryan and I headed over to the hospital to see our newest nephew. This was the first time I've held a new born - and what a stud of a new born he is. Here's some pics of J.J.'s birth and our visit last night!

Babysitting Baby Aubrey

Bryan was dancin all over to get Aubrey to laugh. If you listen really closely you can hear real giggles :)

Our New Apartment (a work in progress)

We moved into our new apartment after we got back from Alaska. With school and work we're not quite done decorating. . . but what can I say - It's a work in progress! Here are a few pictures of rooms that are nearing completion.
