Sugar and spice and....

everything nice, that's what this little girl is made of, may I introduce you to Mikayla Aubrey Konieczny 6lbs 9oz.



Proud parents Miranda and Jason

older brothers Tristan and Avery

A little sugar from sweet cousin Kinsley

a quiet moment with Avery and Tristan

When I see the beautiful faces of my grandchildren, I know that they are wonderous gifts that our lord has so graciously blessed us with, I was immediately reminded of what my sweet friend Cheryl Prater wrote to me, that when well meaning people would say to her "you've got your hands full," in referrence to her twins, her reply was "better full than empty" So very appropriate don't you think? May your heart and hands always be full of blessings too...

    Just a beautiful little one like her Momma and her grandma. Your G. babes are adorable my dear. Sadly I dont have any yet except the ones I adopt that belong to kids friends that they grew up with.
    I got my baby fix the other day with 3 such little girls. Even though they aren't mine totally I love them the same.
    Congratulations to your family.
