AWESOME! Finally!
Finally! I think I have carpal tunnel from hitting "refresh" so often! Congratulations! Wonderful photos, wonderful family! Enjoy that precious baby!
Karen
Oh wow. I have been hitting refresh all morning - and it was so worth the wait! SHE IS PERFECT! What an angel. Love the pics. And it looks like she cried and then stopped fairly quickly?
That one close-up pic looks a bit like our Peanut,. too.
I love Olivia!! CONGRATS!
Oh MY, I am crying tears of joy for you!!! She is SO gorgeous!!! Now, if only I could find a way to make a decent print to take with me to Haiti for your kids....if you get a chance to send me a few on an email....that might help. =) Many congratulations!!!! Those little tears so that she is working on attachment....reminds me of my little girl's initial tears....but then she is peacefully sleeping, knowing that she is safe. What an angel she is.
Can't believe it! She is soooo beautiful! God is so good!

Ahhhh. This is one of my favorite days ever. You are finally, finally with your GORGEOUS daughter. She is even more beautiful than the first adorable picture we saw of her. But what's really sweet are Mama and Daddy's happy faces.
Oh, I can hardly believe it! I'm sure it's pretty surreal for y'all as well... Praise God!

Who ever posted about ultimate joy and sadness colliding stole my thoughts! My heart was filled with such joy for you and my brain filled with those memories of how Kenson must have felt and how Olivia must feel some of those same things too. Praying for God's presence to be completely obvious in this time in your lives. Congratulations; what an amazing time in your life full of so many emotions and new things!
YAY. Oh yay. We were gone all day, and we walked in the door, and I made a bee-line for the computer!!! I just knew they'd be there.
We love you, you know we do. Awesome. So so awesome.
She's absolutely adorable!!! You all look so beautiful together :)
Hugs to the 3 of you!
