I grew up with only one sibling…a brother…Kevin. We are only 14 months apart in age so he and I were pretty close growing up (even though he tortured me sometimes). :)
He married a girl, Michele, who was one of my great high school friends, which has been such a blessing to me…having a sister in law that I’m so close with.
And now they just had their fourth baby!
When Kevin sent the pictures, I emailed him and asked if I could put them on my blog…because I NEEDED to show him off! Of course Kevin responded that it would be fine….just have my people get in touch with his people. (I didn’t know the baby had an agent already.) :)
So here you go…my newest nephew…Austin Lee. He was born Tuesday, August 12 weighing in at 7 lb 9 oz and 21 inches long. (And by the way, Michele felt her first contraction at 6:30 am and gave birth at 7:30 am. Her story pretty much rivals my story of giving birth to Elias. Must run in the family. Is that possible with sisters-in-law?!…)
Here’s Austin with his biggest sister Kailey (6).
And with his big brother Troy (4).
And with his 21 month old sister Renee.
Isn’t he so sweet? I can’t wait to meet him, hopefully sometime in September.
And yes, between my brother’s kids and our kids, when we get together…it’s pretty much a big party! Whew!
I’m so excited to be able to share this with you! And I’m so grateful for his safe arrival and that he is healthy and strong. New babies are such a blessing!

Yay! Pictures!! I’m out in CA for a week, otherwise, I’d be in the car to go see that cutie. I’ll have to try to get out there after I get back.
Awww…little babies! I miss little babies.
He is just adorable Laura. I especially love the pictures with his siblings – how sweet!
And now I am off to read about your fast deliver of Elias. I missed that one somehow!
They have such a beautiful family!
This is so wonderful, what a beautiful blessing! :) I hope you get to meet him soon.
Aww.. so cute! Thanks for sharing!
I love being the auntie of nephews. I think I was just as excited (well, almost) to announce their births, as I was my own daughter’s. :)
Congratulations!
Blessings,
Michele
(By the way, I think your sister-in-law has a great name!) :)
He’s gorgeous. Congrats on being an auntie again!
Congratulations!
I think babies are as good as it gets!
Thanks 4 sharing him with us…he’s a doll, his siblings too! Precious!
He is beautiful! Congratulations on your new nephew. Babies are such a wonderful blessing!
What a sweet little baby. I am sure you all can’t wait to meet him.

Aww what a cute little bean! So happy for you and for your family!
Awww… CONGRATS to them and you!! I can’t believe they have four kiddos… wasn’t it just a few days ago that Troy was born??! :-)
Thanks for sharing the pics!
They are so adorable!
I love your site! It is so inspirational and fun to read. Keep up the good work!
Congrats on the new addition to the family:) He is so precious…what a miricle! I especially enjoyed reading about your sister-in-laws quick birth since I actually gave birth to a son 5 weeks ago and it was so quick that I didn’t make it to the birth center. I felt my first contraction at 5:30 am, but they were irregular and not too bad. At 6:30 am I realized I was actually in real labor and we started getting ready to go. We called my mom and dad to come stay with our 2 daughters. But, at 6:50 my water broke and at 6:57, baby Ben was delivered on my bed by my husband. It was a crazy 27 minutes to say the least! I am going to go read your exciting birth story…I just LOVE birth stories!!!:) God bless!
Congratulation, Laura and Emily!
I love birth stories too.:) It been a long time since there has been any newborns in our family. I just love the smell of a newborn…
Truly the Lord’s greatest gift:)
