Surprise Visiters

On Tuesday night or I guess I should say Wednesday morning we had a couple of surprise visitors. Our good friends Jonus and Zildy Manuel dropped off their kids at 1:00 AM so they could go to the hospital to welcome another member to their family.

It was so much fun for us because our girls were very excited to find out their friend had spent the night, so we immediately had 3 very happy girls.. And we got to be their when Shayden and Jazzy found out that their Mom had her baby. Jazzy smiled but didn't react to much beyond following her brothers enthusiasm (apparently she didn't realize that the baby was born yet because she had been told that it wouldn't be there until after Halloween) but Shayden was priceless.

Jonus had called and since we didn't answer he left a message announcing the birth of the baby. So we sat the kids down and played the message for them. As soon as Jonus said that they "had a brand new baby brother" his eyes popped and his jaw dropped and stayed there for the rest of the message and then some, and then our house exploded with kids screaming and running about celebrating the new babies birth. It was a great experience to be on this side of the event and be able to share in the kids joy. Thank you Zildy and Jonus for giving our family this opportunity.

One more funny thing I want to mention is about the babies name. I took Josie and Aspen with me to see Zildy and the new arrival the next day and they still hadn't settled on a name for the baby boy so Zildy told Josie there standing Joke that the babies name would be baby Chacho if they couldn't think of another name for him. Well Josie happens to love this name and went about the rest of the visit saying as much as possible, "Hi Baby Chach, I love you Baby Chacho, Baby Chacho is so cute, Bye Baby Chacho." So I half-joked that we were going to have a hard time getting her to call him anything else once they did choose a name for him. As it happens they have named they baby now and I told Josie the new name and she is refusing to call him anything but Baby Chacho. Time will tell if we can fix it.
