My dear friend, Lizzie and her new baby, Elle.

I love Kate's face in this one, Liz. So Kate... still figuring out how she feels about this whole new baby thing.

I was actually in the delivery room when Lizzie had her first baby, Tanner. I was barely pregnant with Sophia and fainted (sort of... it's all a blur... but I remember the nasty smelling thing they stuck under my nose) because of all of the TRAUMA she went through. It was a bad one.

Our kids have been connected, essentially since birth, and I don't think Sophia could forget Tanner if we moved across the world now. I feel permanently and irrevocably connected to her and her precious kids... and am so excited she brought one more beautiful baby girl into the world.

Remember the rainy day maternity session. Well it's a good thing she persisted in having them done that day regardless of the rain, since she went in to labor just a a few days later (early). Here is the gorgeous, little, doll-faced outcome.

Oops... just realized I repeated a photo in this collage.... oh well... I do love it... she's like "call me!"

What a beautiful catholic church this was. I've never been to mass before... it was a really neat experience to see what's done.

I think we counted three little boys crying after the garder toss. Not sure if it was the collision, or just the blow to their little competitive spirits. But it was dramatic.

But we had ONE very happy little boy.

This was a PARTY. Thanks for letting me be a part of it all, Laura and Michael!
