I have to just say

Ellie Lord is cute!

could not resist

From This

To This

Aunt Mamie Loves Jack

Jack and Ellie

Are reasons I made the trip in the first place. Of course, it was great to see my sister, mom and Kevin. But those kids....

I don't really have words to express how I feel about them. It's a love I've never known.

Congratulations to the Jones Family!

On Wednesday, November 26, Elizabeth & Aaron welcomed a beautiful 8 lb 2 oz baby girl into their family.

MADELEINE GRACE got here just in time to be a Thanksgiving Baby, and we are all thankful for her healthy arrival.

Congratulations Elizabeth, Aaron and Big Sister Noelle!!!

Doesn't tiny Elizabeth Jane look quite similar to tiny Amy Elizabeth? It's not just me, right?

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for little girls. I look forward to being an aunt to a few of them and then raising one or two of my own. Boys are awesome and I want a few of those too, but girls are kind of incredible. I am thankful to have little girls to get to know this year.

Sweet Baby Ellie

She's HERE!!!!

ELIZABETH JANE LORD
was born shortly before 10am today. She weighed 6 pounds 11.5 ounces.

See Kate's blog for more info and pictures!

Baby Elizabeth, there are many people who love you so much already. I can't wait to meet you and see your sweet face.

Congratulations Jack, you are going to be a Great BIG BROTHER!

Congratulations Kate & Kevin, your family is perfect now!

Lots of Love to the Lord Family of Four.

Counting down...

The count-down has begun! Kate is due with a baby girl on November 28. Elizabeth is due with a baby girl on December 7, but has been told she'll deliver around the 24th.

Is it mean if I pit them against each other and pretend they're racing?!?!

I know they're both pretty much at maximum capacity and ready to no longer be pregnant. And of course, they're completely excited to meet their little girls.

I hope they both come on November 22. 2 is my favorite number and I've always been the only one with a November birthday (til Letty) and they will be two of my favorite people on earth, so it seems perfect. Come on Kate & Elizabeth, don't let me down!

Whenever they do decide to make their entrances, I am hopeful and wishing for two speedy, un-complicated, natural, healthy births. Good luck, Mamas!

-----Oh yeah, in case you can't keep up with reproduction-mania, Mike & Kristin's baby is at 20 weeks right now, due the beginning of April.-----

Little Girls

Two more on the way!

Kate and Elizabeth are both expecting baby girls.

I, personally, am thrilled!!!

I know 4 parents are too.

Baby Sisters for Noelle and Jack, so much fun!

How much pink shit am I going to buy this Christmas?!
