Cousin Time---We just love baby Lydia!

What Ethan does everywhere we go.

Benjamin wants to be a baby again after seeing all the attention Lydia is getting!!!

Auntie LaLa meets Lydia

What a moment! I was absolutely ecstatic to meet my niece Lydia. And what a moment! I forgot how much I LOVE newborns. There is nothing like a sweet baby. Especially, baby Lydia. There is something so special about meeting the offspring of your siblings. It's a little wild to think of Daniel as a Dad. He has always been Dan the man, or Wump, or even Danithew. But never Dad. How strange is that? But you should see Daniel and Lydia. He is so in love with her. It's the cutest thing to see him and Diane with Lydia. What a cute little family! So precious!

I will admit, for a second, or maybe for half the day yesterday I was having total baby hunger. Bad. But, luckily it has subsided. Except, I am going to have another Lydia fix tomorrow, so I may catch that fever once again. There is nothing quite like a sweet baby girl, and Lydia is all that, and a bit more.

Anyway, I have been lazy. I haven't blogged or uploaded pictures from Christmas, never mind this special meeting with my niece. I will try to catch up, in between laundry, Scouts, dishes, the kids three week break (which makes my life crazy for those three weeks)-----it's almost over, so I may have a bit more time. Ha-Ha. It's OK to dream. Except about babies; says my husband. I have been having the strangest dreams lately. Which is sorta' fun, but a bit bizarre-land for me.

Tylenol PM, rather than Ambien is having a strange effect on me, that I quite like. Dreams. I guess I am not sleeping as deep. But hey, I will take dreams over deep sleeping any day.

Instead of wincing at the thought of "trying" to sleep, I actually feel a little more excited....with anticipation.....I might have a .......DREAM!
