BIG SIS!


I became a big sister on August 14th! The rest of the family and I welcomed my baby brother, Jacob Alexander, into the world at 5:49 a little over a week ago. Now I have someone to help while I spread the fun and mayhem! Hmmm, wonder how often I'll be able to let folks know "Jacob did it!" Probably won't work too often since my mischievious giggle always gives me away!
Not to be outdone by the arrival of a new brother, I also decided it was time to take a few independent steps on my own while Mom was in delivery. What better way to remind folks who's actually in charge? Look out world I'm ready to take you on now!
Grandma is writing this for me since I'm on "holiday." Aunt Jenny and Uncle Jerry decided I needed an "only child" weekend and we're hanging out in Disneyland! Whoohoo! There's talk of going on Star Tours...I'll let you know how that one goes. As always I'm having a blast with Auntie and Uncle; they know how to treat a girl!
Here's a brief video of one of my first walk! Check out the look on Uncle Jerry's face...he was so proud of me! Enjoy!!

A LOSS

Emma lost a truly special person on July 5th. GGK, Great-grandmother Karayan (her daddy's nana), passed away while at home.

GGK had a special place in her heart for Emma. She treasured the time she spent with Emma, always referring to her as "our little angel" even before Emma's diagnosis of Angelman Syndrome.

GGK will be missed for her unwavering love for her family, her generous nature, and her positive outlook on life.

Soar with the angels...we will meet again.
