Amarie loves that "she is growing up"
and is so excited to be a big sister
We love you Amers!

My midwife who helped me to experience birthing without
pain meds. I still can't believe I did it. Dad was very supportive
as well. I'm glad I was able to experience it.














This was Mine and Noelle's first night together in the hospital.
These two photos captured, I believe, her first realization that
her journey in this world had begun. She had arrived. She laid there
content just looking around and soaking it all up. So sweet.
So fresh from Heaven.








































Brytinn tried hard to hold back her smile. She was very sensitive to just how special it was to have Noelle with us. Kamara got to take Noelle home with mom and dad while the other two had another sleep over at
Nani's. It was a nice evening just the four of us.






Noelle felt right at home with her big
sister's voices surrounding her.





















After Kamara got off to school, Joe and I were able to spend our first day home from the hospital alone with Noelle. I was overwhelmed with love, joy, and excitement. I just can't believe how precious and special these moments are, and how fortunate and blessed I am to be a part of these miracles and that her and I were healthy and everything went well. I am humbled by it all and overwhelmed with gratitude.
