Welcoming Aunika into the World

My two daughters and I had the privelege of welcoming baby Aunika into the world on October 1st. It was a beautiful birth: my sister looked radiant, the baby was healthy, and the whole family was there to welcome her (including my Dad and his wife Joyce).

Here are a few pictures from that special day (I say "a few" because I really took a ton of pictures):

At the hospital the girls wait eagerly for Aunika to be born.

The happy (and busy) parents of SEVEN! Wow!

Right after Aunika was born Tyler got to cut the umbilical cord. He did great and was so brave!

Mommy getting a closer look at her sweet new girl!

Proud Auntie Colette couldn't wait to hold her too!

Baby Aunika just a few hours after her birth.

We thought she had really long feet...but so small compared to our hands!

Big brother Trevor holding his new sister's hand. Awww!

Another brother (Tyler)...loving on his sister. Those boys sure love their new sister!

Dad and Joyce getting some time with the newest.

Everyone wanted to hold baby Aunika! Asha was excited to finally get her turn.

We are so thankful and praise God for Aunika! She is truly a gift!
