Welcome, Sophie!

Jason's brother Bret and his wife Ruth had their baby last Sunday. She was 7 lbs 9 oz and 21 inches long. Nice work, Ruth! We all went up to visit her on Monday night. Laura was initially scared, but as soon as she got to help me hold the baby, it was obsession. She is going to be the BEST big sister. She kept wanting to touch Sophie and see her little hands and feet. Though the funniest part of the night was when Laura looked at us as Sophie got changed with huge eyes saying, "She's crying." We got to explain that babies cry a lot. Laura went on a mission with her uncle Bret for baby socks and came back with him as great buds. She also was very pouty when we left, "I wanted to see Sophie some more!"

Sophie is darling and we are excited to have her as a neice/cousin. Man, holding her made me anxious for our little one to make an appearance. Congrats again, Bret and Ruth!
