Hi All, 

What a WILD weekend for weather! I hope that you all enjoyed your few days out of school. This past week my brother and dear friend both welcomed their second babies into the world. My new niece's name is Kaia June (Ki--ya) and Mom, baby and Dad are all doing well. I went to visit my brother and he was right next door to my friend. Nothing like two fresh babies to snuggle on a weekend.

Hi All,
