Gavin decided not to wait until May

Marylyn had an emergency C-section on Friday and everything went perfectly. We were still at Dave & Matt's,so very grateful that Andy's parents were in the area to help Andy and Marylyn. His parents had taken Annika to the hospital, waiting in the next room so Annika could see the baby soon after being born. She was so excited to hold her new little brother and rather disappointed that she could not take him home that night.

Andy and Marylyn gave Annika a new little boy doll to care for and it is amazing to watch her copy her mommie in caring for little Gavin. She loves her little brother and happy when he wakes up so she can kiss and hold him. Marylyn says that, so far, Gavin is a perfect little angel...just eats and sleeps.
What a sweet family! Andy's mom will be there until Saturday and I fly in Friday...changing of the guards. Marv will fly in the following week. When we got back to the temple Monday he told his fellow workers "I am excited to get back to sealings....and in two weeks I will be doing floors [Andy wants him to help tile a Laundry floor]. He has some live sealings this these next two Saturdays. We can't wait to hold this newest grandchild and get a hug from Annika. She is just too cute!
