Meeting Baby Norah...and a Card :)

Well, it's been forever since I last posted. For some reason the past few weeks have been busy with daily life. Nothing too big - just stuff.

I do want to say "Happy Belated Birthday" to my brother Bryon who celebrated his big day on Feb 15th. Here he is 2nd from the left:

On Feb 1st we took a drive up to Ridgefield, WA to meet my Niece Kim and her husband Brandon's new baby girl Norah Marie. (This is my brother Bryon's oldest daughter).

Here are a few pictures of the kids meeting Norah for the first time.

That's Norah's big brother Carson on the far left:

It looks like Ella is ready to hit Norah (above) - but she wasn't. She was just mad that it wasn't her turn to hold her anymore. She didn't want to give her up to Alex. :)

Isn't Norah a cutie???

I asked the kids if they would like another baby right as I snapped this picture - can you see Malia's excited reaction here??? (Sorry kids, we are done!)

This is an aerial picture of me holding Norah, along with my own 3 kids. Yikes!! It stresses me out a little to imagine myself with 4 kids. I love kids - but just not sure I could do a good job raising 4 of them!! :) My kids **LOVED** seeing and holding Norah. They wanted another baby after that. Ella got mad if anyone else tried to hold her and just wanted to kiss her.Here is a picture of the ladies - That's Kim on the far left. Doesn't she look fabulous for having a baby 3 weeks old???? WOW!

And......here is the card I made to congratulate & welcome the baby's arrival. It's "Mamabella" from http://www.stampingbella.com/. I would love to own all of their stamps. A girl can dream.

Have a great weekend! Hopefully the weather will be nice wherever you are. I think it's suppose to be sunny here. Yippeee!
