On the day Kailee was born, Hyrum wrote letters during school. I didn't realize that it was such a part of his thought process throughout the day or that he was so aware of his new role as an uncle.
Grandma and Grandpa Fullmer came to Rexburg and waited anxiously through the night for news of their first great-grandchild. They were thrilled to meet her the next morning.
After a short morning break for a nap, the afternoon was a constant flow of visitors. When I asked Erika if she needed rest she responded in tired fondness for her baby girl, "I just want to show her off to everyone!"
Three days later, Kate and Kara came on their only unscheduled weekend knowing that Kailee would be over a month old before they would see her if they didn't make the quick trip now.
Derek met her the following weekend when he came for General Conference.
Kailee has had more snuggles and love than a girl could wish for. My tough young men melt into protective uncles with adoration and awe in their actions and voices.
