excitement.

the whyte house is jumping...

dashing...

and leaping for joy...

the whyte kids have a new cousin.

anderson leon coulter

was born THIS morning,

weighing 10 lbs 4 oz, 21 inches long.

i've been thinking lately, how dumb it was to plan a

family vacation during such a busy time of the year.

now i remember why.

i planned it around his arrival time because

we're getting ready to head to his state.

we get to see "little" andy very soon.

oh, washington.

i am so stinkin' ready for this.

i'm kinda hating the idea of family photos right now,

only cause i have to be in them. :)

i know, i know.

but i haven't finalized my whole attire,

seeing as how it'll probably be chilly out there

and i can't find something cute to go with my sleeveless dress.

blech.

and i'm kinda freaking out about the gas expense.

oh, there's really no 'kinda' to it.

i am.

a lot.

[deep breaths]

i AM stoked to finally get to meet mikaela, her boyfriend shane and her infamous culinary mastermind sister, whitney,

as well as whitney's culinary boyfriend. :)

AND i'm the only member of the anderson family who gets to

meet andy for a long while, so i feel very lucky to be able to be there with my sister during this time.

[please gas, unexpectedly drop your price. please?]
