Talk about perfect timing!!!!







So, we rolled into Mesa, AZ the evening of April 3, and spent the night in our Roadtrek for the first time in 2 1/2 weeks. It was like coming home! The next day, we did laundry, unpacked all our stuff from the Baja trip, and settled in. Nikki and Alex Schuster, our daughter and son-in-law, live about 10 miles away in Gilbert, AZ; this is the reason we've picked the Phoenix area as our winter HQ. Not to mention the weather, of course! Back to my story: Nikki has been having contractions all day, getting stronger and closer together. By mid-morning of the 4th, she and Alex alert the doctor, and it's time to go to the hospital. Nancy goes along as photographer, and Bill stays at the Schusters with 18 month old William. At 2:59AM on April 5, Emma Lorelei Schuster is born. She weighed 8lbs, 4oz and was 19" long, with medium brown hair (longer than her older brother's!) and dark eyes. Mom and baby are doing well, and everyone came home on the 7th. Here are some pictures of the newest family member.......
