Can We Keep Her?

























These pictures are from Monday evening when Mom and Dad brought the kids up to the hospital to see Melita for the first time. They had waited SO patiently ALL day Sunday and ALL day Monday for their sister to arrive. Finally they got to come and meet her. Love these pictures!!!!!!!

And a special THANKS to my Mom and Dad for all they did to keep the kids in their school routine and making everything run so smoothly while we were "out of the picture" for a few days! We are SO lucky!!!

Yep, we all think she's a "keeper"!

You have such a sweet family! It's so easy to see that the older kids are going to adore her. I love the smile on your Dad's face too. That photo is great.

So happy for you all! What a beautiful baby girl. Can't wait to see her. Take it easy & enjoy every moment. I really tried to with Holly cause I knew she was our last. And I realized how fast the other 3 had grown.
