A Month Later

 I am the queen of making outdated blog posts!  

Despite grand plans to keep the 'ol blog up to date, time just keeps marching on and now I am deeeeeep in the midst of Christmas preparations.  

I still haven't sent out Christmas cards!   But I have made LOTS of Christmas cookies, incidentally.  

(Priorities.)

These are the rest of the photos I took of Naomi the week that she was born... over a month ago.

Clearly, they must be posted. 

And clearly, they must be posted SOON.  Naomi already looks so different!

I hope everyone's mid-December flurry is full of the best kind of chaos!

Now... I'm off to write Christmas cards.

Pipsqueak Surprises Us All

 

All it takes for the exhaustion to set in is to close your eyes for a second...

Can we just take a moment to enjoy that double chin?!

Mama #2 made the adorable going home outfit and Mama #1 brought a bow- JUST IN CASE.

Everyone thought Pipsqueak was a boy.  I said I was on 'team girl' only because no one else seemed to be (except the great grandmas) but in my heart, I really thought it was a boy.

I thought Pipsqueak would be teeny tiny- because Corynn seemed to barely gain weight and her belly seemed so small her entire pregnancy.

But early on November 2nd, Pipsqueak came into the world, surprising the world with her own little perfect self.  A head full of dark hair, jack rabbit feet and a rather impressive double chin.

9lbs and 6oz of MERCY and GRACE and STRENGTH and LEGACY and BLESSING and GIFT.  

Naomi Elisheva, a name that means delightful blessing from the Lord.

And that she is.
