On the night of Sunday January 27, 2008, Leila Vaughan passed away. Her funeral was Wednesday afternoon, and though it was an emotional event, we had a nice time afterward with Justin's extended family.
And just when we needed some cheering up... we got some great news.
Timmy and Shannon, Justin's brother and his wife, who have been trying to start a family for several years, got a call from their social worker and were informed that a newborn little girl was available for adoption, and they were #1 on the list! Of course, they were absolutely overflowing with excitement, as were we! And so, I am proud to announce that on Monday, February 4th, Tim and Shannon will be bringing their new baby home, and I will officially be an aunt! My niece-to-be was 6 lbs, 2 oz. at birth, and besides a little bacterial infection that will be easily cured by antibiotics, she is healthy. I am just so thankful that Tim and Shannon's dreams are finally coming true, and that all the prayers have paid off. It is just an unbelievable circumstance; they had only been in the "available to adopt" category for two days, and when they got the call, they thought it couldn't really be happening this soon. They have wanted a baby for so long, and now it is finally happening for them! I will update soon with photos of little Emily Grace.
Love and Lattés,
Aunt Katie
