Our niece, Kaye, daughter of our late brother Bernie and his widow, Maudie, sent Sue the following birth announcement with photos:

Hi Aunt Sue,I was just reading the blog and thought I would just let you know that we have a new granddaughter!! Aubrey Bouchee ( her mothers maiden name) Peterson was born on June 24, 2009 at 5:14 am! She is 7 pounds and 9 ounces and 19 3/4 inches long!! We tried to get mom to wait until Dad's birthday but there was no stopping her. The doctors sent Danielle home at 4 am and said to wait because they didn't think the baby would be born until the due date (June 30th) Good thing Dad is cop and can go 120 on the freeway or he would have had to deliver his second child in the car. They were still home at 5:00am!! Everyone is healthy and home. Ethan is being a good big brother but wants to play and doesn't understand why she doesn't. I hope to send pictures with this email but I don't always get it right so let me know if you are picture -less when you get this! Love, Kaye

PS The pictures are of Aubrey and one with Dad (Nate) I will send one with the whole family but they are not very flattering of Danielle so far!












Kaye and her family live in Mesa, Arizona. It is always a joy to welcome a new member in our far-flung clan! Congratulations!
