Amelia Anne

We are completely in love with our new sweet little baby girl, Amelia Anne.  She was born on Monday August 6, 2012 at 12:56pm.  She weighed 8 lbs. 12 ounces and was 21 3/4 inches long. 

In just two short weeks, she has brought so much joy into our lives and into our home.  She is a sweet snuggler and very rarely cries.  She has a nice, calm temperament and loves to eat and suck on anything she can get her tiny hands on!  She makes lots of funny noises like a little piglet and loves to smile when she's dreaming.

Benjamin & Daniel adore Amelia as much as Mom and Dad do!

Mimi & Jackie threw an adorable little "baby splash" on the 4th of July for me,  Andrew and baby.  It was red, white and pink!  There were sweet little touches everywhere like little pink star cookies and flowers & delicious food.  The guys and the kiddos swam all afternoon while the ladies opened pretty little pink things and some much needed baby items.  I feel so grateful to be on the receiving end of so much generosity and excitement and joy!

Thinking Pink

I am so very happy for my sister-in-law Jackie and brother-in-law Matt who are expecting baby girl number 2 in December. We can't wait to meet that sweet little girl!

Ben and Dan are so excited to have a new cousin and we know Brooke will be the best big sister.

We are also anxiously waiting to find out what my sister Christine and my brother-in-law Kevin will be having come January! This will be their very first baby and their pregnancy news was the most unexpected and happiest I've ever heard!
