Little baby

Danielle's friend Emily made this beautiful video. Love it!!

jude meets jonah

Mark and I were really excited to see Jude's reaction when he first laid eyes on his baby brother. After giving Jonah the "once over" a couple times Jude decided it was more fun to play with his "presents from Jonah" than Jonah himself. Something tells me it won't always be this way. :)

toys from Jonah

Here's Jonah!

My second grandson Jonah arrived at 10:17 pm last night. I am proud and he is perfect! :)

Mommy, daddy, and baby are doing great. Thank you God for this wonderful blessing.

Tea anyone?

Happy Birthday Mel!

I've always been lucky to have a sister like Mel. She's not only my sister; she's my friend. She's always been there for me and others in our family. Mel is the most giving, caring, sweetest, and stronger-than-she-knows person I know. She's the best...sister, daughter, grandmother, Aunt, friend, truly the best. I love you Mel and I'm so proud you're my sister. Muah! XXXOOO!!
