Our first niece!

Last Monday Kellen and I became an Uncle and an Aunt!  My sister-in-law, Val, gave birth to Ileana Lucille Draper - 6 lbs. 10 oz.

Isn't she a cutie?

I haven't met her yet, but she has the same chin as me.  I think she looks a lot like my grandma Jackie, which is apt since her middle name comes from grandma Jackie's mom, Lulu.  That's Ileana's great-great grandma.  And speaking of which, our great grandma Burgess is still alive and kicking in Indiana, so there are 5 generations of the Burgess family living today.

Ileana joins her three older brothers, David, Josh and Colin (Val's three children from another marriage), to make my brother's family 6 people!  Kellen doesn't have any siblings, so this is it for us to have nieces and nephews.  We look forward to spoiling them all.

Oh my gosh, she totally has your chin! The thought of that same crazy kid I knew as a daddy is a little scary, but I'm sure he is thrilled.
