Xavier is Born!

I have now lost 10.4 lbs and am so thrilled!
Yesterday, July 25, 2012 was a great day as my Great Nephew, Xavier Carter Sikes, was born at 6:32 PM weighing 7 lbs 9 1/2 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. I was able to be there and share in the family  joy when he arrived. He is so handsome and I am proud to be his Great Aunt. There are now 4 generations of Sikes men with my dad being the Great- Grandfather. He is so happy about this as it has not happened before.
Check him out:

Mom, Jennifer and Dad, Josh are both doing great and I am sure they have no idea how much their life is about to change- for the BEST! I shared one of my favorite quotes with them yesterday, " Being a Parent is having your HEART walk around outside your body for the REST of Your Life!" which is so true as those of us know who have children that are grown, they NEVER leave your heart! I just feel so blessed to be apart of this family as we have so much love to share and we are always there for each other no matter what storms come our way!
