Whew what a wild three weeks it has been getting used to the "new normal" of having a brand new baby in the family! Granddaughter Emma is doing just fine - her mom's recovery has been a bit slower than expected but she is improving daily. I have been helping out every day but unlike Emma's parents I sleep very well when I get home at night! Thanks to so many of you for your cards, comments, and good wishes!
Thought you might like to see a photo from Miss Emma's first photo shoot at two weeks old. Baxter really isn't as forlorn as he looks in this picture. He has proven to be a great big brother and sleeps near Emma all the time.
Pals Paper Arts has a beautiful fall color challenge this week - hope you join us!
She is adorable and looks more than two weeks old. Love Baxter too. Marge
