Here's Peyton!!!!

Here she is, our Peyton Bailey Russell. Isn't she beautiful????? Wanted to share with all of you as soon as I could, sorry it took so long. Kelly is feeling better each day, and is a wonderful mommy! Justin is back to work and can't wait to get home to his baby girl. Grandma Gayle and Grandma Sheryl just can't stand being away from her. Auntie Whitney, Auntie Addie and Auntie Tyler and Uncle Travis all got to visit with Peyton in the hospital. Auntie Kasey will be here tomorrow. Her great Aunt Cheryl has visited a couple of times also. And of course Anna, who had never held a baby and wasn't going to. She now is planning on how to bribe Kelly and Justin into going out to dinner so she can watch Peyton. Will write more later, big hugs to all of you. keithanne, Peyton Bailey's GD

Peyton Bailey Russell has Arrived

At 5:23pm on Thursday 4/06/06 Peyton Bailey Russell made her appearance into our world. She is beautiful. 18.2" long 7lbs 4 oz. Curley blonde hair with highlights of red in it. Grandmas, Gayle, Keithanne & Sheryl were there, along with Grandpa Mark, & Auntie Anna held a baby for the first time in her life. Auntie Kasey, & Auntie Whitney had to talk to her over the phone. It was a very long 2 days of labor for Kelly and she was mighty glad to get Peyton out and into the world. Justin was amazing with Kelly, so supportive and loving. He is already a wonderful father to our little Peyton. I know Grandpa Oliver is looking down on this very special baby and doing everything in his power to be her guardian angel. More later, I am going to bed!!!!! love and hugs, keithanne (grandma)

Still Waiting for Peyton Bailey

At this point we are still waiting! Won't know anything for sure til after 3:00 today! Kelly is exhausted, please keep her in your prayers. Love and hugs to all. keithanne

A Very Busy Spring Break

We started noticing on Friday that it seemed very busy in Joseph. I got off work at 5:00Pm on Friday, picked up a few things at Family Foods, and headed to my home at Wallowa Lake. It felt like spring, sunshine most of the day and a little warmer. The first thing I noticed was the store, now, Glacier Lake Grill and General Store was packed, then as I turned onto my lane, I noticed that all the cottages were full. People were all over. I got home and shut myself in. Saturday morning I woke up to car doors slamming and people hollering hurry up!!!! I looked out my bedroom window and noticed the snow, oh yes, snow, it snowed most of the day. I guess it spooked some of the people because they left early, other people were out enjoying it. I am just plain tired of it. I stayed home all day, and enjoyed my cozy little cabin.

I am still waiting for Peyton Bailey to be born and to take off to Beaverton to be with Kelly and Justin.

I haven't heard much from Kasey & Jacob this weekend, but I presume they are enjoying their new home.

Big Hugs to all of you, hope to see some new comments and some new ideas to write about. Talk to you soon. Keithanne
