Introducing the Newest Member of Our Family


Acacia Rose arrived home a few days after her birth. I know the kids were so glad to finally be back in their own nest, and to be able to settle down to being a family. Shadow-cat was full of curiosity, but he quickly learned to behave himself around little Acacia.



I think she is totally gorgeous... and I am not one bit prejudiced about that! I couldn't get enough of holding this precious little bundle in my arms.



Gazing at her, I wonder: What do the newly born think of? How does the world look to them? What is really important in this life?



Baby feet amaze me: they have never been walked on and are as soft as the rest of baby's skin. I just love tiny baby toes!



This is the smile that can make all your problems just melt away, and fill your heart with such joy! She was only 4 days old. Admit it - you're smiling now, too. :-)



Three generations... a circle of love.
I am so very blessed to have had this time with my daughter. Thank you, Lori & Dave, for allowing me to share it with you. And to Mike, for arranging for me to be able to go.

Awww, not to sound biased or anything but she is the SWEETEST little angel baby in the world!!! :) Great pictures, Mom! I love the "Three Generations" shot -- did you realize it's even three generations of oldest daughters? :) I'm so glad you were here for this special and amazing time... You made it complete. :) We love you!
