Nora K

A good rule of thumb is to not express a date in which you'd prefer your child not to be born on. Because more than likely....it will happen then. When I had some significant contractions at 1 in the morning on October 31st, {and bundled the babes up and headed to the big city...fast..} I would soon find out that, that 'holiday' would be one of the greatest days of my life.

A great day to welcome our precious Nora.

In.... love.

A very proud daddy

Isn't she lovely...isn't she...

My favorite visitors....

Enjoying meeting baby sister for the 1st time.

Sol likes.

These guys are amazing bros...

Sam and the 'sweet baby sister,' he's prayed for...

Shep and sis.

Shep had a long day...and needed some liquid...
{Consequently I know he enjoys hospital ice as much as I do...}

Dad and his girl.

The crew.
{A fine looking bunch}

Time to go home...

Overwhelmed by the goodness of God.


For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him.

My favorite picture of her is the one in the car seat getting ready to go home. SOOOO precious!

Yeah--did I tell you that I specifically prayed--more than several times--for Colin to be born ANY OTHER DAY than Halloween?

*sigh*

God has such better plans. Such a special day to welcome sweet Nora.

I think I have looked at her picture 1000 times over the last 2 days. And said, "She's so CUTE!" Or, rather, squealed that. Ahhh...she's so cute. I'm so happy for you guys. :)

And, I am dying to know how Daddy feels about this little girl...how he really feels. Trying to get a sneak preview of just how smitten Shane's gonna be, you know.

Love you friend. Over the moon for you right now.

I know I commented a ton on these on Facebook, but she is seriously too much. She's just darling. I knew she would be (because your boys are darling) but wow. :) I'm very happy for you all. And what a good mommy for her to model as she grows.

Oh Kathy!! I wish I could see more clearly through all the tears in my eyes! She is the most beautiful bundle of joy and light I have seen in such a long time!! All my neices are precious, as our my nephews (I like to consider yours as part of our family as well) Daddy looks so proud and your ranch hands look thrilled and in awe of such a adorable babay! I am so happy for you Kathy! I am so so so happy for you...for Daddy and brothers!!! My prayers and endless love are with you all. If there is anything that I can do, please let me know. I am not that far away and though I know Darcy is there, I could stay in Auburn and help with the other 7 little ones!!! She is precious and my joy is endless that you know get to have that amazing mother daughter bond that is just priceless!!! I love you so much!!!
