Another Newton Family Beauty :)))

Meet Milena, the youngest edition to the Newton family via my nephew Ken and his wife Osayo.  She is seven months old and my sister (Grandma Debbie) is absolutely doting on her, her first grandchild.  She's gorgeous and you've got to love those two little teethies showing!  Ah, those big brown eyes, those chipmunk cheeks.  That brown hair, that little itty bitty chin.  Hmmmm, she could be mine, come to think of it...

So, this makes me a -- grand-aunrtie?  A great-auntie?  I don't know what the difference is, but I'm one several times over! 

My Newest Great-Niece Tripping Out to Music

She's so lovely!  My apologies if I've already posted this pic earlier - I honestly don't remember and I'm too tired tonight to go digging back through the archives tonight to check.  I also have not yet figured out the intracacies of grand-niece/great-niece -- not that she cares. She just wants to be loved and spoiled rotten by her Great-Aunty Jan :)

Please Say Hello To...

the latest edition to the extended Newton family: Baby Girl Hauke, the daughter of my #1 nephew (that's birth order, that's the only way I can keep them straight because my sisters and brothers have so many children!) and his wife.

Mamma, baby and daddy came through a scheduled delivery just fine. Baby Girl Hauke appeared yesterday, September 14, 2009 and weighed in at 8 lbs. 3 oz. and 19 and 3/4 inches long.  In those respects she greatly resembles Niece #1 who was born in 1976 and is now a 3-times mom herself!  Ah, the memories - and where the heck did that time go???  She's so beautiful.

And so, I am once again a proud Great-Aunt.  I just re-counted and confirmed - this is #9, and the way things are going, in a few years I might become a Great-Great Aunty because Great-Nephew #1 is into his teens now :)
