Scottie's brother Danny and his wife Christie have two kids. Jimmy is 14 years old and Alayna is 11 years old. Scottie's sister Heather has two kids, Dakota who's 9 years old and Mattie who's 4 years old. We of course had just one child last year, Caden. Danny started things off with his two, a boy first and then a girl. Heather fell right in line and had her two, a boy first and then a girl. So it fit the pattern last summer when we announced that we were expecting again after starting out with our first boy. We completely blew the whole plan when we found out our #2 was a boy (and I wouldn't trade him for all the little girls in the world).
But we were all shocked, to say the least, when we received a phone call from Danny and Christie about 8 weeks after we found out we were expecting. Alayna got on the phone and said "hey, you know how at our 4th of July cookout you said next year we would have 6 grandkids at the party? Well, make that 7 grandkids!"

That's right. Danny and Christie, who's youngest is 11 years old, said they were having another baby! She was due 8 weeks after me, and she got the girl!
On May 3rd, they welcomed to the world

She looks so much like her daddy, but sometimes I can see Alayna in her face too!
