Introducing Riley Marie....

My niece Riley made her grand entrance into this world today at 3:15 p.m. She weighed in at 8lbs and 3oz, is 21 3/4" long and is absolutely beautiful (of course, she comes from a very good gene pool).

We spent the entire anxious day at the hospital waiting for Riley to make her grand entrance. I was more nervous for Kerry to give birth than I was for myself. Kerry and I are twins so we share a special bond and have always looked out for each other. It's pretty tough to just have to sit there and to not be able to do anything for her. I was so relieved when James finally came out and told us they had a girl. I am so happy and excited for them, I know that they will be fantastic parents.

Congratulations Kerry and James!

Check back often, I will be posting more pictures.

Note: Yes, I do realize I don't have any of Kerry and Riley but at her request I did not post any images of her.
