October 5th, 1980 at 5:00 pm I was delivered at St. Joe's in Lancaster County to a happy couple Ellie and Richard Sinclair. Their first child, Brian, was already 6 years old and fell right into the position of being a great older brother. Jump ahead now 28 years and my brother, now grown, is a father to a beautiful little girl. And I, a super proud aunt. August 21st brought joy to our family and to Kristen's family as tiny (not so tiny: 9 lbs and 2 oz.) Paige Ellen was born. Though distance has suddenly become an interesting obstacle to seeing the newest little Sinclair (the Navy kindly moved Brian, Kristen and Paige across the country) we feel blessed: She is beautiful and healthy. I traveled to VA the week before they moved and got to visit and perform my first auntie duties - holding Paige, burping Paige, feeding Paige, and assisting Brian in some diaper changing (he's the master at diaper changing now!). It was spectacular. Props to my courageous and extremely strong sister-in-law who has birthed a child and moved across the country all in less than a month.
