we are all. in. LOVE!!!














My son, kissing his daughter. What a precious sight this is......to see your child with his child ~ Emily is doing wonderful!! She did such an amazing job. Sweet Clara is doing wonderful as well ~ she was born around 8:30 pm, March 23rd.

Thank you all SO, SO VERY MUCH for such sweet wishes for our new little one, the mother and our entire family. We are all quite exhausted but after a good night's rest we will be able to enjoy this precious bundle even more tomorrow!

Thank you again dear friends, and that's truly what you are to me....dear, sweet friends.
Have a wonderful Tuesday.....I know I will!!!!

hugs and love to you all,
Dawn

Hi Dawn (or should I say Gandma)
I'm so happy for you! I've worked in OB for years, and it still brings tears to my eyes each and every time a new life arrives. It is amazing how alert these little ones are. I love the picture of her and her dad, and the one of her looking @ her mom so wide awake is awesome. She is blessed to have you in her life and she will bring you more love, joy and amazement than you ever dreamed possible!

I LOVE the photo of Clara looking straight up at her mom. "Hi Mom, it's me! Do you think I'm cute? Tell me about Jesus!"

Precious!

Congratulations!

Anita said...

So cute is she! AND we share the same birthday :) The thing about being a Grandma is- you are willing to just drop everything for what the little one needs- sometimes to the amazement of your children who think you have lost your mind :)

Sheryl said...

I love the way Clara is looking up at her mom. "This is what the voice of love I have heard all this time looks like". Blessings to you all.
