One week and one day old.

Precious little Loralye.

It was a good day for us.

Pop art aside, it's refreshing to feel optimistic about our future.

Loralye.

For all of you stalking The Green Family blog and patiently awaiting an update, I am here to relieve you.

Shane's first niece, my third (but my first niece-in-law):
Loralye Raylee Green.

Lauren and Aaron's bundle of baby buns was born on Friday, JANUARY (thanks Con) 16th 2009 at 2:20pm. She is a healthy 8 pounds, 9 ounces, and arrived at a remarkable (to Shane) 20 inches long.
Mommy, daddy, and baby are still doing great!

This is pathetic.

Nikki and I have gone almost a month without blogging an update to the world. For all of you waiting patiently and/or desperately... my (our?) most sincere apologies. If you really want to be entertained however, I (we?) suggest you visit www.thisisconlan.com. You might set your house on fire, he is THAT good. Blogging for us has gone on the back burner. A lesser priority to Wedding Planning... which is all consuming. Dresses, suits, caterers, flowers, bridesmaids, groomsmen, registry, invitations, accommodations, 'colors', music, photographers and a million other things Nikki is keeping track of, bless her heart. I'm pretty sure she loves every bit of the planning however so it totally works out. A LOT of work but we are VERY excited to get married and we cant wait to see y'all!

Moving on... I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa. We were lucky enough to spend our Christmas with my family in fricken freezing Las Vegas, NV. My sister and brother-in-law, who live in Las Vegas are a few weeks away from birthing the first niece/grand baby into the Call family. She obviously could not travel so we all drove in to celebrate in Sin City. Sounds like bad news but it was actually a great way to spend Christmas. Nikki and I did New Years in Burbank with our dear friends 'The Burbankers' - Good times! And have since been laying low. We are oh so excited to go back to work Monday...PSYCH!

Nikki just woke up from her nap and is giving me kitten breath kisses which probably means I have to get back to invitation folding... soooo... Peace and Love.
