big sister Kya and Gavin's new friends

We are unbelievably blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family members living close to us. Thank you all for the visits and treats and gifts! Extra thanks to my mom and sister for being with us during labor and to my Grandma Rene for taking great care of Kya, and to Andrew for watching Reagan for us. Many thanks too for those that live farther away and sent their love via phone call, text or facebook message - thank you!

And of course, Big Sister Kya.
Gavin has the sweetest big sister. Kya adores her little brother with her whole heart and is always excited to help, hold, cuddle, or sing to Gavin.

(these photos are a little out of order ... I have one arm occupied with baby Gavin and a one-arm copy/paste is too tricky of a maneuver - ha!)

Going home day!


Kya drew this photo of her and Gavin (kya is the pink one with white hair and Gavin is the blue one)

Corey pulled the car up for us and we were on our way! Gavin slept the entire way home.
