Jayleigh with Family

I am not very good at keeping up with this blog! :P I know a lot of y'all are wanting to see pictures of Jayleigh, so I apologize for not getting to this sooner. I have a lot of pictures of Jayleigh with family that I've been wanting to post, so without further ado...

Darron's Family...

Grandpa Brant & Grandma Joyce deBoer with Jayleigh

I think Grandpa Brant might like her...what do you think? ;)

Uncle Derek & Aunt Justine with Jayleigh

Cousin Grace deBoer with Jayleigh ... she just loves the baby! :)

Grandma Joyce is smitten with her two little granddaughters! :)

Jayleigh's first week home we had a visit from our cousins on my mom's side: Beth Faber and her girls Zoey & Claire, her sister-in-law Kalee Bengtson & her son Logan, and Becky Bengtson (Mom's double cousin). With all those kiddos, it was chaos for awhile, but so much fun! And yes, those little ones showed this new mommy what all we need to child proof before Jayleigh gets bigger :) ...

Becky Bengtson with her 3 grandchildren and my mom (Dorothy Priest) with Jayleigh...can you tell how excited these 2 are to be with their grandchildren? I don't think they ever stopped smiling! :P

Kalee Bengtson & Logan, Beth Faber & Zoey & Claire, Me and Jayleigh

Beth & I were both pregnant at the same time with these two little munchkins! :)


 So some of you might know that our friends Courtney & Nick Becker (who were also in Derek & Justine's wedding) were expecting a little boy 2 days after we were due. Well we both went beyond our due dates and had scheduled inductions, but funny story...Derek and Justine came to visit and we all went to the Louisberg Cider Mill for some cider and donuts. It must have been something in the cider, because the very next day both Courtney and I went into labor! And thank goodness because we didn't want to be induced! Bramlage John was born 51 minutes before Jayleigh Mae at the same hospital, and 1 pound heavier at 8.13! Joyce and Brant were so excited...

Courtney and I went to a breastfeeding support group together right before Halloween and they had a little photo shoot set up, so here are the babies at 3 weeks and 1 day...

Here Jayleigh was 8 lbs 2 oz and I believe Bram was about 11 lbs
