She's Here!!

    Our newest niece and cousin has arrived.  My sister Jackie and her husband Ben had their second baby girl this week and she's a keeper.

This is Shae Gwyneth Atkinson 8lbs. 8oz. 19 inches.  Isn't she a doll!?

   Of course all the kids minus Mark came to the hospital to meet and hold her.  We're so glad to have another baby girl cousin living near by.

   With baby Shae came Grandma and Grandpa Baker and that means flying fun for the boys and it wasn't long before Grandpa had them at the park chasing home made parachutes falling from his r/c airplane and they loved every minute of it.

Let's get this show on the road!

Who's having the most fun here, the pilot or the runners?  I'll say it's a toss up.

Time to reload the the parachutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   The kids also had fun just going to the park and playing in the sand while I got to sit in the shade and enjoy a little reading and relaxing with McClane.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    Then it was time for another family gathering to honor the visit from Aunt Melissa and her two cute kids, baby Ava and little Sam.  We had yummy Hawaiian haystacks, an eclair cake, courtesy of Camille and Josh and Oreo balls.  Life is good!  There was visiting, bubble blowing, scooter rides and a little b-ball.
