Little Addison Marie

Luke's niece and goddaughter, Shasta, had her first baby on February 4th. As many of you know, Shasta lived with us for 6 months while she did her student teaching in Andover. The boys were 6 and 19 months old when she moved in with us that semester. She was an absolute blessing during that time. She will never know how big of a help she was to us and further she was awesome with boys! She is very special to our family.

She got a job at Herrington High School after graduation teaching English. She met her husband Nick through a co-worker. They asked the boys to be the ring bearers in their wedding and the boys were excited. They love Nick and they love Shasta. So when we heard she had her baby we couldn't WAIT to go see them in Abilene.

This is Addison Marie...She is absolutely adorable. She was 6# 15 oz and 20 inches long.

Here is Addison with her mom.

Nick let the boys hold Addison. Jacob didn't want to at first, but when he saw Ben holding her, Jacob quickly changed his mind.

Ben and Jacob thinking Addison is a keeper. I almost see halo's over their heads! It doesn't happen very often!

Miss Addison and her Nanna Re.

I couldn't wait to get my hands on her! Ben posed so he could get pringles.

Jacob not too sure about this baby. Jacob told Shasta he didn't want the baby to "pee" on him because that's what babies do....hmmm

Addison's little feet. She was stretching her feet and toes.

She was to get her first bath tonight, I wonder how that went?

Here is the proud papa.

If any of you are in Manhattan and need some adult beverages, Nick is doing a little advertising for his store.

Beer Goggles is the place to be for your pre or post party before a Wildcat Victory! Go State! Sorry I had to throw that in!
