Welcome to the world, Margaret McAferty!

My brother's baby was born on Friday afternoon!  Maggie is Violet's first cousin on my side of the family, and we couldn't be more excited.  In fact, Violet said her first name today besides Elmo.  Can you guess whose it was??  Maggie!  She says it so cute.

Some pictures I got from facebook and Annie's blog:

(She is a big girl!  She was 8 lbs 9 oz and 22 inches long)

(My brother with his little girl!  He told me a funny story when I talked to him the day after she was born.  He said that he woke up twice during that first night after they had her.  The first time he woke up, he thought, "Oh, it wasn't a dream!  I'm so happy!" and the second time he woke up, he thought, "It wasn't a dream.  Oh no!")

Annie and Kenny are going to be the best parents, and I CAN NOT WAIT to see them at Christmas!  We will all be staying at my parents' house for a few days at the same time and it is going to be awesome!
