I'm an auntie again!!!!!

today was the big day!! I'm an auntie for the 3rd time and I am so thankful. I had a hard time falling asleep last night out of excitement and this morning we met my parents in st boniface hospital & we all went up to the 3rd floor to wait (as patiently as possible!!) 
our first glimpse of the little bundle was when they wheeled him by, all we saw was a cute snuggly white blanket, round & snug. josh was in scrubs** & leah was being wheeled in on the hospital bed behind. So we knew all was well, but.. more waiting! josh was good about coming out to see us & giving us details. we ended up needing to wait till the early afternoon to go up to meet him, but he was well worth the wait!!

(** funny tidbit. when josh was in scrubs a lady was talking to him for awhile, because he looked like a surgeon on his break! so, he is now officially unofficially, Dr. Phil Cottonball!)

so, I am the very proud auntie of a sweet little boy:

Roger Thomas Klassen
Born January 17th, 10:11am

when we were finally able to come in & see him, Dad was up so fast & beat us all into the room!!  
so tiny & sweet! I see both Jay & Everett in him, and I love that he is a mix, but his own little person at the same time.
