I am excited to announce the birth of my very first niece! Priscilla Rosella was born this morning to Jayne and Nick (Jeff’s sister and husband). She is 9 pounds and 6 ounces and 21 inches long. She joins her brothers, Micah, 2 ½ years, and Noah, 1 ½ years. Jayne sure will have her hands full, but she is so excited to have a girl. I went to visit them at the hospital and all is well. Jayne’s labor came on quite suddenly and the baby was born 3 hours after her first contraction. Her EMT husband didn’t want to deliver the baby at home, but Jayne was already needing to push when they started the ½ hour drive to the hospital. They made it with an hour to spare and Jayne said she still can’t believe she had a girl. They waited to find out the gender of the baby, but she had convinced herself that she was having boy #3. It will be really fun for Mandy to have a girl cousin her age.
In other news, I can now drive my car again, thanks to my wonderful husband. I’ve been using my “fair weather” car sparingly because the head-lights, windshield wipers, and fan would sporadically shut off while driving. Fiddling with the key usually brought everything back to life, but sometimes the car just shut off. While annoying, it was also dangerous if it happened to be dark and/or raining. We called around to see about getting it fixed, but no one wanted to tackle the problem. VWs are notorious for their electrical problems, and my car is no exception. Of course the dealer would look at it, but they charge $75 and then tell you what is wrong with it.
Awhile back a shirtless guy came out to the farm to buy an old truck (I blogged about it). Well, that guy just happened to be into VWs. He owns a shady looking repair yard near

Looks like Mandy is very happy to meet her new cousin, Cute outfit, is that the one form Jess?
Yay for fixing cars for cheap prices!! You know, one of my favorite verses is "do not forget to entertain strangers, for by doing, some have entertained angels without knowing it" (Heb 13:2) Ten bucks says your shirtless guy is an angel!
I am so excited that Jayne had a girl...of course she would be happy with either, but I was secretly hoping it was a girl :). How much fun she will have.
Ya....hooray for fix-it type hubby's. Craig and Jeff sound a lot alike in that area!
Glad to hear you got your car fixed for $23!!! That's so great!! I just get a chip in the paint and want a new car :) - but no, I'm a good girl and don't give in.
Just goes to show that even the shirtless have an important role to play. congrats to J and N on the baby girl!
