September 18, 2008 was a magnificent day!! Brion and Amie called first thing in the morning and asked if I could come and take care of the boys at their house while they went to the hospital. Of course I was already packed and ready to "be on deck" as Brion puts it. By 5:20 pm Nick and I had our 9th grandchild (well, not actually us, Amie did the work LOL). I got Logan and Landon ready and we took off for the hospital where they met their little sister, Lexie Jo. Now this name is very neat. She is named after Amie's grandma (Lexie) Whimpey and after my mom and Nick's mom (both Josephine). She is a living doll! She weighed in at 8 lb and 8 oz. She has a perfect little head and a beautiful complexion. She looks like both Logan and Landon, but mostly Landon. It was so tender when I took the boys home last night and got them dressed in their PJ's, we knelt down for prayer. Little Landon (2 1/2) in his prayer said, "Thank you Heavenly Father for my baby sister Lexie". That touched my heart so much. Here are some pictures you might enjoy--
The first thing Logan and Landon did when they saw their mom and Lexie was climb up on the bed right next to both the girls in the family. I tell you, Lexie is going to be the most protected little girl in the world with these two brothers.
First family picture. Doesn't Amie look good?
Logan holding Lexie for the first time.
Landon holding Lexie for the first time. Notice the little stuffed bear. I took the boys to Target so they could pick out something for their sister before we went to see her. Landon picked out the teddy bear and Logan picked out a little soft dollie. I asked Logan what girls like and he said, "anything pink, pink, pink."
This is a tender picture of Papa holding Lexie with Logan giving her a hug.

oh it just takes your breath away at how marvelous these little spirits are.
As a grandma I think it just is breathtaking, what miracles they are.
She's a doll, good work you two.
I better go find a grandbaby to give a hug too, so I can quit crying I'm such a boob.
Congratulations! She looks just perfect. Can't wait to see her in real life.
We are so excited to finally have another girl cousin in the family!!! We are so happy she is here safe and sound.
Miriam...I am so glad you commented so I could look you up. Okay so I am totally balling my eyes out reading about your sweet little Lexie.. I guess it is to be expected..I am hormonal:) We really gotta get Anne to start blogging. You have such an awesome family.
Congrats to Amie and Brian. I can say without prejudice, you have the cutest grandkids. I noticed that I can see a little bit of AD's girls in your baby picture. I can definitely see Brian in Nicks. It looks like you had a ball with Allie. I actually gobbled down one of those cupcakes at AD's house. Thanks!
