He Too Is Dreaming Of His Daddy's Love...

I was an aunt before I was a mom. It's Stacey's fault--she beat me to the punch! But, I wasn't too awfully far behind. Twelve years later, I became an "Auntie" for the 14th time! Little Hyrum Nathan Preator made his huge debut late Sunday night, coming in (or should I say "out"?) at 9 lbs., 5 ozs. and 20-inches-long, making his mom and dad two incredibly grateful people! Welcome to the family, baby...
