but when is it my turn?


Baby gotta lotta mommas.

Everyone wants to hold that Jovie. I guess that's the payout for having babies for a decade and a half. There are qualified babytenders at the ready.







(last photo by my lovely sister-in-heart Anna who jetted across America to come hold baby too. Expect more of her work in a soon-to-be-released blogpost very soon.)

 This is the Anna of which I speak.



The very same Anna that obliterated Sugar-free January by whipping up Pioneer Woman's french toast casserole the morning after patronizing Cheesecake Factory, got pedis with me even though her toes won't see air again until Indiana thaws out next spring, and spent hours playing board and card games with my children during the few hours she wasn't photographing them. We all loved having her here. 

When I thanked her for coming to see me she simply responded, "That's what sisters do."

 I am so blessed to have sisters! I spent a childhood without any, but the ones I have now were worth waiting for.

I love this. Now nice to have a SIL that feels like a sister. I can't wait to see more pictures.

Ah, you're baby is NOT a newborn anymore. She is a cutie. Lots of cute little helpers too. I love sisters. Their hearts are BIG and BEAUTIFUL.

Where's the Jenna Scoresby who just gave birth? Cuz you look way too good to be her! I mean really, you're getting up there in age :)....shouldn't the whole pregnancy and childbirth be a little harder on you than that?

I loved every minute! Thanks for letting me join the family for a few days. It was good medicine!
