We have a new nephew and he is PERFECT. Darin and I LOVE
being an Aunt and Uncle and are so in love with our 4 nieces and 2 nephews. We were super excited when Page told us she was pregnant and have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this precious boy since that day. Being an aunt is seriously one of the best things ever. I LOVE it.
On June 4th, after waiting 12 days past his
due-date (!!), Gideon Kevin Russell made his appearance and we immediately fell in love. Page is a ROCKSTAR and her hard work paid off in
the form of 9.2 pounds of perfection.
As Kevin and Page were at the hospital, Linda, Darin, and I teamed
up and became "fill-in parents" for Selah and Zoe. Oh. My. Goodness. As if Darin
and I didn’t already totally love
these girls, our three days with them gave us an even sweeter bond and made us fall even more in love with the beauty, sweetness, joy, and innocence that these two exude. We joke now every time we see
pictures of them on Instragram that Kevin and Page stole our girls. Of course we're kidding...kind of. Ha! We LOVE them and we LOVED that precious
time with them. Although the girls may not remember our time together in the
years to come, Darin and I will certainly always treasure the memories and moments we shared with them.
We had a full dose of parenthood with short nights, bath
time, afternoon naps [for the whole family!], lots of hugs, dirty diapers, bedhead, giggles, bedtime stories, handholding, sickness, ponytails, hair bows, evening walks, laundry, and snuggles…and we LOVED it all. We aren’t ready for kids of our own yet, but we sure
are enjoying the JOY found in our nieces and nephews!
