The boys got a new cousin on Saturday. Catherine Eva, aka Cate, was born late June 21. She was 4 weeks early and weighed in at just 4 lbs 7 oz and 16 1/2 inches. We went down to see Baby Cate today. The boys couldn’t see her because she is in the special nursery, but they had fun playing in Aunt Cathy’s hospital room with their cars and eating graham crackers.
Aunt Cathy and Uncle Dan are very happy that Baby Cate is here and doing as well as she is. Aunt Cathy was pretty sick and she is doing much better now.
She is really, really small. That is Dan’s hand in the pictures with her.
And as a side note for Kevin’s family . . . Sunday, Dan came out of the nursery and saw a man standing there whose name he knew was David, but he didn’t know why he knew his name. This David saw Dan (so the story was told) and knew he was his brother Kevin’s brother-in-law but not his name. In the bed next to Baby Cate is a baby that was born 6 weeks early (born Friday) and is the daughter of Amber’s brother. So, next to my brother’s baby is the baby of Kevin’s brother’s wife’s brother. Follow? Small world, isn’t it? Especially since David and Amber are only in town for the week.
