Personal - I'm an Aunt again!!
/My sister welcomed her third little lady into the world the day after Christmas this past year. My niece almost shared a birthday with our youngest sister, Hilary, who is a Christmas baby! We weren't able to have our Christmas morning celebration this year so we all gathered the weekend after. Right after gift opening was finished, little Ansleigh decided to get the ball rolling after we'd all been thinking she would have been celebrating her first Christmas with us. Her mom and dad took off for the hospital (an hour drive), and she arrived less than an hour after arriving at the hospital. She may have shown up late, but she was in a hurry to get here when she decided to make the party! Her sisters (and the rest of us!) were smitten with her immediately upon meeting her the following afternoon. She was the stubborn baby of the bunch, after following her two older sisters who both came earlier than their due date. She makes the cutest little grunting noises when she sleeps, she is so alert when she's up (in the middle of the night!) and she's adored by all of us. We love you to pieces, Miss Ansleigh Moon and we're so happy to welcome you to the family.
I headed back to my old apartment building in Wisconsin this past Christmas for a quick mini session with my old neighbors. I met the oldest cutie last year when I was having Valentine mini sessions in my apartment. She is now a big sister and her 6-month old sister needed some photos too! We had so much fun and big sister was so much help, tickling her sister to get her to smile and being my test model for light. Made me really miss being in Sun Prairie, and that great apartment!
