New Arrival!

Our new arrival is here and we are so happy! She came as an early Mother's Day gift to me. Little Miss Ruby Alta is here. She weighed a whopping 9 lbs 1 ou and because of that extra weight has been such a good baby! The kids have been giving her lots of hugs and kisses and she puts up with us.
She's an amazing mix between Soph and Els as babies. I think she'll fit right in. Caleb has been such a good big brother to her and makes sure everyone gets a fresh application of Hand Sanitizer before even thinking about touching her. Els is learning how not to be the youngest anymore--I think sometimes she wonders if a new puppy would have been better:). She's coming around to the idea though. We are so happy and hope you all had a Happy Mother's Day as well!

Hooray! We've been anxiously awaiting these photos. She's a little squished-up dolly! You are too little to be having these 9 lb. babies:). She's so pretty and can't wait to snuggle her.
Love Steph

I love her hair. I was imagining dark like Sophie's. I love her chubbiness and I can't wait to see her next month. I love you!
