new baby.....

.....so one of the exciting things about being home was being with my sister when her second baby was to be born. well we all know things in baby world don't go as we plan, and baby thorne kept right to that! he was born a little early and while i was in milwaukee........so close but still so far away! hudson wayne thorne made his grand appearance on january 2nd. i would have to wait a week to see the little man........but what fun! a boy in the mckay family!

right after landing at the halifax airport my dear parents drove lilyanna and i straight to rothesay to meet hudson. we stayed for a few days and then drove back to NS with auntie amy, who came to rothesay for a couple of days. we also brought baby hudson, wendy and mallory with us.

here is hudson all tucked away in his carseat.

one of the things i wanted to do while wendy was in NS was get my wedding dress so she could be there. here is a photo of mallory trying on her very own "princess dress". she loved it. she was such a great help to me, doing up zippers of the dress i'd taken off, and then on her toes trying to get the one i'd just put on. i only wish we'd gotten a photo of it. it was so cute.
cousins, mallory and lilyanna.....
.....and then again with sir hudson.....
