Genevieve Mae

My sister was induced today at 10:30, and little Ginny (pronounced "jenny") made her appearance less than 4 hours later. She is named Genevieve after my dad's maternal grandmother, my great-grandma (the only one still living.) She is name Mae after MaeLynn, one of Sarah's best friends, who is dying from pancreatic cancer. But Mae was also my dad's paternal grandmother's name!

I can't believe they got a picture of her with her tongue sticking out--that is definitely Sarah's child!

Jessica said...: I don't think I realized she was expecting. Sarah looks more herself here than any other pictures you'e had of her for awhile. That will be great fun to have close cousins to play with! Pass on the congrats!; January 15, 2011 at 9:35 AM

Who Are We?

We are a crazy-fun family and we're happy as long as we're together.

We say "Yea" to: dogs that don't shed, fantasy books, a clean kitchen, Dr. Mario, casual athletic activities, Love and Logic, capitalism, Sobe, singing in the shower, Hispanic food, time-outs (for kids and parents), cloth diapers, coupons, Jack-in-the-Box, Taco Time, Texas Roadhouse, Olive Garden, genealogy, seeing our extended family often, children who sleep in their own rooms, holding hands, on-line computer games, garage sales, Sunday dinners, love letters, home improvement projects, making a job go faster by doing it together, (appropriate) PDA, the annual BYU-I Halloween Concert, riding bikes, adoption, the temple, and Star Wars.

We say "Nay" to: government-run health care, putting each other down, nuts in baked goods, lawn flamingos and garden gnomes, cable tv, landline phone service, watching football or nearly any other sport (yawn), ridiculous email forwards that you know couldn't possibly be true, quack grass, dandelions, not cleaning up after your dog, gossip, allergies, and saving people (or companies) from the consequences of their own choices.

We agree to disagree on: illegal immigration, cheese, the right way to load the dishwasher, Japanimation, the proper length of a good haircut, cheesecake, the temperature, whether we should bring the dog camping next time, the color pink, whether a glass of chocolate milk counts as breakfast, Chuck-a-Rama, vitamins, and which of us is more fortunate to have found the other.
