meet Lucy Bella!!

born Sunday, October 9th, 2011

here she is about half hour after she was born

she was peacefully sleeping until the midwife wanted to check her

I just missed her birth (don't ask)

but I was there with in minutes and here we are getting acquainted

she is only a couple hours old

her big sister was pretty proud too

first day

day 2 grandma is so in love

Beth did such a good job, look how adorable that baby is

she makes funny faces

sleeps the sleep only the newborn can

she is flirting with her mom

day 3 on the planet

she is definitely checking it out

I was holding her outside today for a few minutes in the sun,

the doctor said it was good for her

she had her eyes closed until she heard the birds,

then she opened them, turned toward them

and smiled

what a gift, what love, what joy

meanwhile

Arlo gets to spend a lot of time now with grandpa

grandpa is his favorite person

Miss Emily on her way to ballet class tonight

We are so blessed
