Laurel, My Love

My niece, Laurel Elizabeth, was born Friday. 6 lbs 1 oz of pure joy. She's the first in what I can only imagine is going to be a long line of beautiful children.

I had to fight back tears when I saw my mom holding her first grandchild...she's so gorgeous (my mom and Laurel).






Day 1 of life and already she's looking at the world through wide eyes... I have a feeling my life will never be the same.






Here she is in Uncle Steve's arms.








Here she is with me. From the first time I looked at her, I knew I was addicted. She's so small and warm. Her hands naturally curl up next to her sweet face. She's constantly stretching her legs. I can already feel myself falling in love with my niece.

Yay, Laurel's here!
