Day One

Thursday, September 16, 2010 by Lolli 19 Comments

This week, I had the joy of meeting my new niece on her first full day on earth. She was born over a month early, but was perfect in every way. It was love at first site.

Of all the joys that lighten suffering earth, what joy is welcomed like a newborn child? ~Dorothy L. Nolte

A baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on. ~Carl Sandburg

A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for. ~Author Unknown

Take a sprinkling of fairy dust,
An angel’s single feather,
Also a dash of love and care,
Then mix them both together.
Add a sentiment or two,
A thoughtful wish or line,
A touch of stardust, a sunshine ray…
It’s a recipe, for a Baby Girl truly fine.

Babies are such a nice way to start people. ~Don Herrold

People who say they sleep like a baby usually don’t have one. ~Leo J. Burke

    Yes! She finally has a name. I just found out before dinner tonight. :) I love the name. It was the one name on their list that really stood out to me. I fell in love instantly, but of course I didn’t have a vote and I kept my mouth mostly shut. ;)

    Isn’t it perfect?! I just wish my new niece lived a little closer.

    Thanks!! It’s baby season, that’s for sure. :) My sister and I love the fact that our kids have hair (unlike us when we were babies!)

    It was so exciting, and the timing was simply perfect! I am used to being the mommy, and never the aunt in these cases. Nice switch.

    Lucky for her, her mama is an even better photographer than her Aunt. :)
