Loving Every Moment

I can't believe another week has zipped by! We were very blessed to have Aunty Amy come for a visit. It was great to have an expert around and she shared her baby and puppy wisdom with us. Our friends also held a shower for us, but I didn't take any pictures...guess I was just having too much fun. Violet is changing everyday and with each day I feel like we get new insight into her big personality.

Violet loves her Aunty Amy!

Her smiles melt us

Daddy-Daughter time

This is the dress Violet wore to the shower.....when she's sleeping like this we call her "noodle baby"

Violet got this awesome onesie from our good friends Mike and Maria. It says, "I made a twosie in my onesie."

I could stare at Violet for hours....I especially love watching her when she's sleeping. 

So cute!

Cuties!

We had a BBQ with the Kiesz Family! And Mikee snapped some great photos of the babes! Gabriel is four weeks older than Violet and we're so thankful that she has a little playmate close to her age! Too fun. 

Off to Church

We took Violet to church for the first time today. We even managed to make it there on time! Our church gave us a lovely basket full of wonderful gifts. It's great to be loved.

Wow I can't believe it has been one week since I went into labour. What a blur! This whole journey has been so amazing. We just feel so blessed. It is amazing how the process of life reveal certain elements of God's character, our need for Him and His promises to us. We have felt God's arms carrying us through this precious journey and we're just so thankful. Here are a few pictures from the last week.







We gave Violet her first bath today and she loved it...well not at first!

She is here and we are in love!
