JULIE + JOHN’S HOUSE

by Sara on November 15th, 2009

Lately we’ve been spending a lot of time at my sister and brother-in-law’s house.

Their dog Bear loves it because he has a crush on Dick:

Bear + Dick

(Note: you can click on images to view bigger. I think this is one is worth the click.)

I love being there because these girls makes me happy. Little Amelia Jane and her sister Eleanor Mae.

INTRODUCING AMELIA JANE

by Sara on November 7th, 2009

My sister Julie recently gave birth to her 2nd daughter, Amelia Jane. I feel so lucky to have been there. It was the ideal delivery to witness; over much sooner than I’d expected. (I know, easy for me to say, but the fact that she didn’t even break a sweat has got to mean something.)

Looking at these pictures makes me so happy to remember such an incredible experience. It was perfect, yet so surreal. (And I mean, surreal. Even more so since I was loopy on Percocet, recovering from a surgery a few days prior.)

Somebody teach this baby some manners! ~ Notice that she’s flipping me off! Ha. Completely out of character for her; she’s the sweetest, easiest going baby I’ve known.

Meeting her momma for the first time. Doesn’t she look like a little glow worm toy?

And below, Amelia at two days old:
