Blessed

Little Miss Julianna was blessed by her father in Calgary, Alberta.

All of Jay's 6 siblings and their spouses and kids were there, as well as his grandparents (they were actually all there for his sister's wedding, but we'll tell Julianna they were there for her).

My parents and youngest brother drove up from Idaho.

(this is only a few that were in attendance)

It was a happy day!

Today We Celebrate...

two things we love:

One is roughly 145 years old and filled with vast peoples, landscapes, and round pastries.

The other is one month old and at this moment, filled with milk.

Happy Birthday!!

Time Flies!

Where has the last month gone?!  

Julianna is already been with us over 4 weeks, and we can't believe it.

Both my mom and Jay's mom took turns coming, and we wore them out!

 (this is just a really great mullet we saw at the park)

This is not a picture of happiness while having her first bath...

We like to call this, The Blessed Barricade.

 She smiles!  And what a lovely smile it is...

Julianna is such a joy.

  Not only is she a great sleeper so far (4, 6, 7 hours at night!), but she doesn't cry often and is patient with her adoring siblings.  

We are blessed to have her! 

Our Emmi is Four!

You may worry that Emmilene was neglected on her birthday since her sister came 5 days earlier, and while it is true I was a little distracted, she had a great birthday week.  She had a lot of celebrations, two  with each grandma, some friends surprised her with a little party, and she even got balloons and flowers from her dad (she was quick to tell me they were not for me). 

Maybe we've been in Harlem too long...

She's Here!!

Julianna Linda joined our family on Friday, June 1st at 7:25 am.  

She weighed in at 8 lbs, 4 oz and 21.5 inches long.

Here are lots of pictures....

("No, My baby!")

Just like he practiced, Robbie loves to sing soothing songs.

We are sooooo excited to have her in our family!!
