Eliana is one week old!

Having a new baby is a lot of work -- the diapers, the constant feeding, the crying . . . But it always amazes me how wonderful it is to have a new baby in the house. There is just a peacefulness that comes with the baby. And an indescribable joy, despite the lack of sleep and personal space (and some days, time to shower). Eliana has brought such light to our lives. We are one lucky family!

Okay, she is BEAUTIFUL! I know what you mean, I call it newborn adrenaline, when you can have very little sleep and still are able to function.

She's precious! I miss all the headbands and bows! Looks like you've transitioned to them nicely! :) Briel couldn't stop me when she was a baby...but even now she doesn't like me putting stuff in her hair. I can't complain though...she does love all the princess dress-up stuff. You'll have tons of fun with that! I'm sure your boys will, too. ;)

What a beautiful girl! It looks like you are enjoying her so much. By the time my fourth child came along, I was doing good to bath her and keep a clean onsie and sleeper on her. I sure don't remember dressing her up everyday!
