One Week Old

Our little Anna girl is one week old today!  It has been SO nice having my mom here for the week.  She leaves this afternoon and we will survive - but we certainly won't be as well-rested and the boys will not be as entertained!  She has been so helpful cooking and cleaning and letting us nap and just doing everything!  Thank you Mom!

I have many things to catch up on, but I won't get to them all today.  For those wondering - yes, I will share all the details about the birth, probably more than most of you want!  But it's going to take me awhile to write it all down, so I'll save that for another day.

For now, we had a little fun with a little amateur photo shoot today.  I wish I had the funds to get fancy newborn photos done, but this will have to do!  Anna (or Annie as the boys call her) is so adorable and we are all just smitten!  She just gets cuter and cuter everyday.  Her skin was really olive-toned at first, but it's getting a little lighter and more pink as the days go by, so who knows!  We're stumped on what color her eyes are going to turn too. Eli's and Connor's were each so obvious when they were born, but hers are somewhere in between.  Anyway, enjoy some pictures of our cute girl!  (Headbands and booties courtesy of Jeremy's mom). :)

I can't believe those pictures! I thought they were professional at first! Did you take them with mom and dad's camera? I am always reluctant to do newborn photos because of cost and also getting out of the house! :) Woderful job! She is such a cutie. And those booties- :)

We will have to take more photos when I get there! Tutu has made more flower clips! It sure is amazing how much they can change in only one week! Amazing! Beautiful! Keep taking photos! She will grow too fast!

Amy - no, I just used our camera, but I touched them up a lot on the computer so they would look better. :) I'm glad you like them!

Those are great pictures! And the booties are out-of-this-world cute. What a beautiful, sweet baby girl.

She is beautiful and your photos might as well be done by a pro. Congratulations!

She is beautiful and I am glad for all the pictures because she will have changed a lot by the time I get to see her!
