Here's Our New Baby!

After putting in a 9-5 work or "labor" day we have a new addition to announce!




Okay, so that's not her, but James loved the baby's hospital crib. Here is our newest little love Libby Joan... 7 lbs 4 oz, 20 1/2 inches.









James wanted to feed her from the baby bottle shaped chocolate candy. It was difficult to persuade him that the candy was for him to eat. He'd been planning it all day.





Observing Luca's reaction to his baby sister was one of the most beautiful moments of my life. Here he is so proud of the fact that he can hold her all on his own. He is so full of love for her already that you can almost see it pouring from his eyes. He cried when they came from the nursery to take her for her bath, and he realized he had to go home because visiting hours were over. He wanted to take his new baby home with him that first night.


Here we are headed home happy 100%.

We came home to a surprise. Luca decorated our front door to welcome us. I feel overwhelmingly blessed today.
