I'm finally an Aunt!

  Yes, this is a month delayed but I am finally getting caught up on things.  The weekend that Dan's parents were here for our showers, his sister Mandy, went into labor.  That Monday morning on October 1 at 7:39, Joshua Bryan Vinas was born.
  Now, lets back up to February 22, 2012, this was Dan's birthday.  His sister and Jeff called that evening via Skype to wish Dan a Happy Birthday and started the conversation with, "Happy Birthday Uncle Dan."  I wish you could have taken a picture of mine and Dan's face at that moment, I'm sure it was priceless!  We knew immediately what she meant, only because we had been baby planning ourselves.  We were both in complete shock and fill with excitement at the thought of two babies due around the same time!  Jeff and Mandy are similar to Matt and Cooper in that they have been married for at least 10 years and we didn't really know if they would ever have children, so what a great surprise! I have always wanted a little niece or nephew to spoil and how great is it that Holt will have a cousin that is so close to his age.  The only negative, they recently moved to Virgina so we won't get to see them as often as we would probably like.  I can't wait to celebrate the holidays with these two little boys throughout the years.  Now,  we have to find some time once Holt gets here for these two to meet!
