Meet my new baby niece, Elesia Janis. She was born on August 12, 2009 @ 3:05 a.m. She weighed 7lbs. 7oz. & 19.5 inches long. I took these pictures when she was 8 days old.

The Sang Gang

This summer was the 2nd Annual Sanger Family Reunion. It was at my Uncle Tim & Aunt Tina's beach place and let me tell you, this place is awesome!! It's right along the Pend Oreille River and they have their private dock, fire pit, a horseshoe pit right along the water and plenty of room for the kiddos to run around. The first morning, Uncle Tim, took us for a boat ride. Nautika, McKenna and McKayla had a blast. The little dare devil, Nautika, kept telling Tim, "faster, faster!". After the boat ride the horseshoe tourney started, we drew for partners and ended up with eight teams. Standard rules expect for one; if somebody threw a double ringer both people of the opposite team had to shotgun a beer! Well, there were a few double ringers thrown but I am under strict orders to never post the pictures! (Good thing I'm a good niece...hehe). The 2009 Sanger Family Reunion Horseshoe Tournament Champions are Uncle Steve and Aunt Beth! A few volleyball games were played after the tournament until Peyton got hit in the face with the ball (by her Dad). At night we gathered around the fire and told our worst injuries (Ben always has the best stories), most euphoric moments of our life, favorite movie and anything else we could think of that would make good stories! It was a fun weekend had by all and filled with lots of laughter and good memories.

Nautika would've sat in this spot all day if she could have.

This Little Piggy...

"Little feet that do not know

Where the winding roadways go,

Little feet that never tire,

Feel the stones or trudge the mire,

Still too pink and still too small

To do anything but crawl,

Thinking all their wanderings fair,

Filled with wonders everywhere.

Little feet, so rich with charm,

May you never come to harm."

~Edgar Guest (1924)
