As some of you already know, on Friday afternoon, my niece was born. My weekend plans to stay in Columbus for Memorial Day quickly changed and after a night of drunken debauchery on Friday (which will be discussed later), I headed to Erie and Buffalo. 
My niece's name is McKenzie Marie (or M&M for short) and she was born one month prematurely weighing 5 lbs. even. She is still in the NICU so our contact with her was brief, but she is doing well. Hopefully, the proud parents will be able to bring her home soon.
I did learn one thing this weekend: my brother is going to make an awesome dad. He was so attentive to his daughter. Kissing her forehead constantly, which made her face scrunch up every time - it was adorable. I hope when I find my future husband, he loves kids as much as Kyle does. 
My brother's description of the birth (which was REALLY quick):
"She came out, said ABC, 123, hand me my backpack I'm ready for school." He even added in the little motion like she was throwing the book bag over her shoulder. Hilarious.
I can't wait to watch her grow up, and be a part of her life. It's going to cost me a fortune in gas, but I'm going to visit all the time!

Awww! Kiddies! My brother and his wife just had a baby as well. Like you, I'm single(and seemingly will forever be. ha!), so this is another little one to spoil. Anyhow, your brother seems smitten. She's a cutie!
Just thought I'd say hello. This is my first time visiting and I really like the blog. Reminds me of my own life, recent heartache and all.
aw, your niece is beautiful!!!
i was in columbus ohio a few weeks ago for a concert. . . had never been there before.
i almost became a graphic designer. . . but i became an art teacher instead. :)
sorry im being a total nerd atm. . . bye!
Are you taking a blogging break or did you move? And if you DID move, will you tell me where?
Like Brandy, I'm wondering where you are. If you moved, e-mail me the url, would you? I miss you!
Just checking in with you--I hope all is well! Miss you!
Congratulations! She's gorgeous! :)
She's adorable. I'm sure you're so proud.
Congrats Auntie!!!!
I hope my sissy lets me have nieces/nephews! I want kids to spoil and not take home!
(maybe there is a train or a bus that will be cheaper on gas? I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.)
