We are just outside Houston, TX staying at the Elks in Katy. It is very continent for us to visit Dianne's niece's family, Jackie, husband Russ & daughters Mackinzi (5) & Jozlyn (2).

Their family is a joy for us and we were so happy to have a chance to spend time with each of them.
We choose to come now because Jackie was about to give birth to her 3rd daughter and Dianne wanted to be there, just as she was present at each of their other 2 daughters' births. Jackie's mom, Vickie (Dianne's younger sister), passed away in 2003 and therefore was not able to experience Jackie's children's births, so Dianne feels so blessed to be a part of this special day in her sister's place.

We waited on pins & needles as Jackie progressed in her labor, and finally almost 24 hours after being admitted she gave birth to daughter number 3----Avairya Kalika-Jazmine Rodriguez. She born at 6:41 pm on 3/12/09 weighing 6 lbs 4 ozs, & is 18 ins. long.

Congratulations to our newest family member!! Good job Jackie.
