She has arrived.

Oops! Forgot to tell you... Rosie is here!! :)

Here she is in her brother's arms....

He's a good big brother. Keeps an eye on us to make sure we're taking good care of her. ;)

Stops by frequently and gives her big kisses on her forehead.

"Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable. Never drink when you are wretched without it, or you will be like the grey-faced gin-drinker in the slum; but drink when you would be happy without it, and you will be like the laughing peasant of Italy. Never drink because you need it, for this is rational drinking, and the way to death and hell. But drink because you do not need it, for this is irrational drinking, and the ancient health of the world."

~G.K. Chesterton

Rosie...

This beautiful, excited mama is carrying my little niece.

We are anxiously awaiting her arrival.

Rosie! Don't wait too long....

We can't wait to meet you. :)
