Catching Up on (3 1/2 month) Old News



Traditionally we would have been up on a mountain top doing arts and crafts, roasting marshmallows and enjoying mystery trips on the week of Utah’s July 24th Pioneer Day, but Kaytee’s first baby was due on July 16. Because of the pending birth, we decided it was more important to stay close to home, so for the first time in 7 years we cancelled Cuz’N Camp which usually involves six cousins, grandparents and Aunt Kaytee. Our precious and beautiful 8th granddaughter Adyn Postma was born on Tuesday, July 8 in St. George weighing in at an even 7 lbs. (see more about Adyn,including lots and lots of pictures at http://www.joshloveskaytee.blogspot.com)/). As it turns out, we actually had a Cuz’N Camp of sorts, though it was completely unplanned and absolutely spontaneous. Tylre had been in Utah for several weeks visiting her father. Stacy had planned a trip to visit Kris, so Tylre and Zac had come to St. George and were waiting for Stacy to finish her work week so she, Kendi, Taisley, Allysa and Kris’ kids could all drive to Sonoma. Unbeknownst to all of us, Whitney was also in town visiting her dad. So when Adyn came into the world healthy and whole at 11:10 a.m., six of her eleven cousins were there to welcome her! We surprised everyone by gathering them all together and visiting Aunt Kaytee and Adyn at the hospital. Now THAT was a mystery trip the cousins will not soon forget. No question, Adyn is the youngest of our 12 grandchildren to ever attend Cuz’N Camp, though she didn’t get a t-shirt. If there had been a t-shirt, 2008 would have been called Camp Serendipity!
