Yesterday I became a Great Aunt. Jasmine gave birth to her son, Dwayne Evontrey. Honestly I don't know how to spell that atrocity of a middle name but we'll just go with it. I made the trip up to North Memorial last night because I felt bad. She is 16 and has no one. I didn't plan to go but she appealed to the softy in me. He's cute but I couldn't help but look at him and think of the hardships he'll face in life. Being born to a 16 year old with the baggage Jasmine has can't make for a peaceful, well adjusted life. Say a prayer if you do that sort of thing.
About 20 miles away, just 30 minutes prior to Dwayne's arrival, my cousin Scott and his wife Nikki welcomed their daughter into the world. Liliana (Lily) Amanda was also born on independence day.
It was a big baby day yesterday! Mom's and babies are all doing well. I haven't met Lily yet but am sure I will soon.
Other than that excitement, Adam and I spent the day on the couch, chilling out and watching movies. Lazy? Yes. Incredibly magnificent? Yes.
Next weekend is family reunion weekend! YAY Petrie's!
