Yesterday, was yet another day that belongs in the super memorable category in my file. I got to help welcome my sweet nephew, Taylor Kale Oleson, into the world. As nervous as I was for my sister, I had tears to show that this little boy means something very special to me. My sister, Shauna, is by far a woman I have always looked up to and I still hope to some day endure all of the strength and goodness that she shares with every person that crosses her path. My "Marie" had some very strong contractions for about 24 hours and wasn't dialating for actual labor, so she and her husband, Shawn, elected to go the C-section route. Now, I did let my sister know that all my life I have lived and learned through Shauna's choices and sometimes mistakes and just when I think I have blazed a path for the first time for her to learn from me, she decides to take the other path. SHOCKING!! I don't know that I have ever worried about her more than when she was in the OR. I know that the man upstairs was watching over Shawn, Kale, and her the whole time. Her delivery went very well and Kale's stats show that he was 6 pounds 6 ounces and 18 3/4 inches long. He's just a little guy with a big heart. I look forward to holding my nephew within the next 24 hours. Here is a couple of pictures that I managed to get when he came out to meet family and friends.

The one time when Kale will want to weigh as heavy as possible!
