Before and After

So, the other day I told a friend that it was lambing season in our family.  She replied, "I didn't know you kept sheep."  I don't.  We've had little lambs of an entirely different kind...four little babies have been born into our family since September.  And oh, how wonderful it has been.  I thought I would share pictures of our fresh pieces of heaven with you.  So here, in order of appearance, I present Margot, Luca, Emillia and Finn.

Up first, Miss Margot who was born to my youngest son Casey and his wife Kylene in Seattle, Washington.

And there we go!  Much travelling is in store for Noel and Shelley as we visit and re-visit our new babies and their parents. 

Thank you God, for these happy, healthy babies. 
We will do our best to protect and nurture them as they teach us the true meaning of love.
