  3. Mel, I'm cracking up so hard right now...I was all "auntie b?" But, we figured it out and started laughing. We do plan to call her auntie Shan, but now maybe we have another name for her.

  5. Way to go guys! On Granpa's 'beautiful baby scale' she ranks right up there near the top with - - - me!

    Aron: Be sure you take pictures of her opening her baby presents. I want to see if her fine motor skills are as good as you say they are.

  9. Awwwww, baby. I love her already. And I love the name...sounds like she should be a news reporter. And of course, you'll have to sing "wake up, Maggie, I think I got somethin' to say to you"

    Congratulations on your beautiful new creation!

  12. Congrats, y'all!

    Love the fact that MG was born with all that dark hair. I adored the photos and can't wait to meet your sweet baby in person. Call and let us know what you're feeling up to when you get home -- we don't need to stay for long -- so we can bring you dinner.

  13. Hooray for Maggie McKay! Thanks for sharing these pictures with us. I like what Patrice said about her name, it does sound like it should be famous :) Great pick! Praying you all get adjusted to life together in your new home with your new baby in your new city--wow, that's a whole lot of newness :O) Much Love to you from the Newtons!
