Congrats Lore! She's beautiful and she already looks so alert, not like a normal 4 day old! Did you have a c-section, I'm just wondering because of the last picture...? Well congrats again guys and I hope everything is going well and you are getting settled and enjoying all the pink! :)

Elisa said...

Congratulations! She is adorable! I am glad everything went well. So do you get and free things for her being the first baby born? Like free diapers or anything like that? That would be fun. I hope you are healing fast and feeling well.

She is adorable!! I can't believe that you are posting things. I would be sleeping. :) I am so happy for you. If you need anything call me.

Nicole said...

I can't wait to meet Macie in person!! She'll be at least 6 months old before I can do that though. I hate being so far away from my dear sister, and her beautiful kids. I'm glad things have gone a little more smoothly this time around...it will make the transition a little easier. Love you tons Lore!

Hey Lore!
Allison showed me your blog for the first time today. It's so cute! Now I have all of my cousin's blogs bookmarked.
Congratulations on your baby girl! Macie is a beautiful baby! I thought of you all during the holidays thinking that you might have your baby in December. I kept asking, has Lore
had her baby yet? I'm sure you were even
more anxious for her to be born.
Then I thought of you a lot on Jan 2 when I heard you were going to have her.
I'm glad Macie was born on Jan 2. That will be easy for me to remember
(My birthday is Dec 2)
That's so exciting to have a new baby in the family! I'm happy for you. :-) You have picture-perfect kids.
Anyways, I was meaning to send congrats earlier but school has been really crazy. I'm taking a lot of time consuming classes: i.e. Spanish, German, Piano, Education classes and History. ;-)
Watch for something in the mail. We are sending you guys a surprise ;-)

Love you guys! Maybe this summer I can save some money to come up and see everyone in Washington. Are you going to be there for awhile? I heard you might be moving to Arizona?
