born...

The moment a child is born,
the mother is also born.
She never existed before.
The woman existed, but the mother, never.
A mother is something absolutely new.

Welcome to the world sweet Eleanor Leona.  

Congratulations Krissy and Steve!  You have entered the wonderous world of parenthood....your heart will never be the same for now it will only grow and grow with your sweet girl.  love you all.

Over due!

This is my beautifully pregnant sister, Krissy.  

She is overdue....I thought for sure her little bundle would be here for her Auntie to snuggle with for the  Thanksgiving holiday weekend.  To Krissy's dismay, this did not happen.  If you have never been "over due", let me just tell you the anticipation is emotionally exhausting and your body is so uncomfortable that you just want to get that baby OUT, OUT, OUT.  Well, it was like that for me anyway....and my sister is no different.  The selfish bonus for me is that now I am in MN while she is about to have her first baby!  The other bonus is I was able to see her at full-term and twisted her arm to get these beautiful photos of her in full blossom.  I love them and know someday she will too.  But as I type this she is in the hospital working on bring this precious new life into the world....she really is.   She is about to be a mother.   Isn't that so incredibly amazing and beautiful!?
