If you have e-mailed me in the past week and I haven’t gotten back to you yet, here’s why! Monica Rose was born last week and our little family has never been happier. It is truly amazing to have her finally here and even though this is our third child, it has felt no less magical this time around. Mike and I laughed every time the nurses would ask us if this was our first baby, only because we always knew the question that would soon follow when we answered, “No this is our third.” They would, without fail, ask us how old our other two are. “Two and a half and one and a half” would always get such crazy expressions out of them. Yes, we will be busy, and yes it is going to be crazy around here more times than not, but the closeness that the three of them already share and the joy that they all bring to us is absolutely priceless. What can I say? We love babies! Here she is within moments of us meeting her for the first time:

And here are some quickie shots of our low-key Easter at home, first time as a family of five.
