Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

Our New Baby

Nathan got the first pictures with the baby. I had a water birth and wanted to clean up first.

Have I mentioned that one of my favorite parts soon after having a baby is seeing Nathan with a precious, newborn, baby girl in his arms.

Our baby girl. 7lbs, 10oz and 19 1/2" long.

All bundled up.



Baby and Grandma. My mom wasn't able to get there till after the baby arrived. But she came soon after and stayed with me for 12 hours! in the Birthing Center. I had to stay 12 hours because I tested positive for GBS.

My girls and Me.






Rebecca, who is VERY loving to the baby, yet very jealous. My little Mommy's girl has taken it to a new extreme and there are times when she insists that Mommy do it for her and NO ONE else (clean her up, & definitely it's my job to put her to bed).

Our first family picture with 4 little girls. Sadly, we had the camera on the wrong setting. There is only one setting to have a camera on for a family of 6. The action/pet/sports setting. :)

Going home outfit. It doesn't fit. :) I just don't plan for 7lb babies.

On our way home!

Jennifer, Congratulations! What day did she come? I want to hear all about it. What gorgeous girls you have. So sorry we missed you at Christmas. I had things come up really fast and we left town super early and I totally spaced calling you. You are an amazing Mommy.
We miss you guys.
