Welcome, Baby Joey!

William has a new baby cousin. Joseph Dominic was born last night at 11:30 p.m. He was 7 lbs. 14 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. Welcome to the world, baby boy. We love you! Congratulations to Aunt Leigh and Uncle Jeff.

Here are some pictures from our trip in June. We visited Allen's parents and met up with his siblings. We also attended a surprise baby shower for his sister and brother-in-law.

Here is William with Joey's two older brothers, Anthony and Jonathan. William had a blast playing with his cousins. He especially loved climbing all over Jonathan. The boys got to practice with William before Joey's arrival.

Allen found a willing student in Anthony. He turned the video camera over to his nephew.

William also enjoyed playing with Uncle Rob. They went on walks together and played in the backyard.

Grandma had lots of fun toys to play with--Little People, trucks, cars, blocks, balls--you name it.

William had so much fun at his Grandma and Grandpa's house that he still talks about it almost two months later. Now, he pretends to ride his tricycle to their house. He gives me a kiss and says, "Bye-bye, Mommy" before riding around the house.
