Jady Cash Harshman

So, last night my brother called me at 9:30 or so and told me his wife's water had broken. I was so very excited...yet very sad. You see, they live in Eugene, Oregon, and I live in Post Falls, Idaho. It's not a bad drive for an adult or two, but the 7 hour drive stretches into a mere 8 or 9 when you have children.

As you can imagine, I got no sleep last night because I was waiting for the phone call telling me my nephew was born. I didn't get a call until about 8 in the morning. By then I was so tired, but so excited!

We knew she was having a boy, but the crazy kids wouldn't tell anyone the name. Well, we all assumed it would either be John (for my brother and my father) or Andrew for Karli's dad. Johnny and Karli came up with Jady (a combo of John and Andy) Cash (for the late, great Johnny Cash) Harshman. What a cute name...to go with a very cute little boy...as you can see! Karli looks GREAT and Jady is freakin' adorable.

Anyhoooooo, I got on the road about 11:45 this morning...after John changed my oil and looked the car over AND I ran to the store and picked up some necessary travel items...licorice, chocolate and water. We stopped in the Tri-Cities, the Dalles, and Salem. We got to meet my nephew at about 8:45 this evening. I'm so thankful that I was able to do this!

Yea Karli!!!!!!!! She did such a great job.
