What a wonderful weekend!

We had a great weekend.....my grandparents came in town from Augusta, GA and Mark's sister, Lorrie, brought her boys from Charleston to meet Allison. We had a wonderful time visiting with everyone and are so blessed they came in town to spend time with us. It was neat to have all the Kiel cousins together and to have the four generations of girls on the Barrett/Beaird side together again. We are still enjoying all the food everyone is bringing us and all the visits from friends - we really appreciate it all!!

Allison Barrett Kiel

Allison Barrett Kiel was born January 14, 2008 at 2:10 PM. She's been an absolute dream so far...beautiful and well behaved already! She's now 10 days old and Jenn and I are really enjoying having her in our lives. In the first 10 days of her life, she's managed to meet everyone in her immediate family, except for her Uncle Howard and her great grandmother, Mimi!!

Allison's big sister, Emily, is really excited about her birth. She loved staying with her Nana for a couple of days, while her mommy and daddy were in the hospital!!

She's also had a blast seeing all the visitors and eating all the great food and playing with all the gifts they've brought to us. Thanks to all!!
