I got a really, really SWEET birthday present last Friday. My newest nephew Finley Paul Rue was born at 9:08pm April 1, and the best part was that I got to be in the delivery room to welcome him into the world! Our brother-in-law Micah is serving overseas, so Thomas' sister Keri had asked me to be in the delivery room with her since I'm a "farm girl" and could handle it. I reminded her that watching a cow birth or death is a LITTLE different than watching a human being born into the world, but I went into the delivery room anyway. I really was fine with it (much to my surprise) and it was such a special time! Sweet Thomas was at home babysitting our niece Skylar and was a stellar uncle all weekend--he even attempted to assist Skylar in her potty training. Let's just say it didn't go so well.....
The labor and delivery crew: Thomas' mom, Keri's friend and myself. We were armed with every sort of documentation possible so that Micah wouldn't miss a thing!
Skylar was hilariously excited about baby Finley. She kept saying "I love my new baby brudder! He is so HANDsome. I want to kiss him. Let's take him home!" Hopefully her attitude will stay that way....

This photo was taken about 5 minutes after Finley was born. Happy April Fools Day to US!
And on a side note, poor Thomas was having major problems with his contacts right before we drove to Keri's and could hardly see a thing. He finally bought glasses and I think he looks pretty fine in them if I do say so myself.
lookin' good in the glasses, TA!
