Is she really mine?

Nicole...thanks for this picture! She's beautiful!

How far can I go...

I guess it's time to update our lives. I found a website that can print off blogs into a normal scrapbook...so that gives me more motivation to add on to this little web creation of mine. Feel free to scroll down and view the pics if you are not interested in reading my journal:) After Rach had her babe she came down and spent the night with him and we were lucky enough to watch him for a few hours while she was able to catch a few extra zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's if ya know what I mean! He's really difficult to watch though...he cries all the time and just doesn't stop wiggling around...poor Rach! NOT! He seriously has been totally unconscious since we met him. He is the most chill baby ever. If you hold him away from you and just support him by holding him up under his back...his arms and legs lay limp and fall towards the floor. He is awesome. So Rae is obsessed with him too. She hovers over him like a mama bear and cannot get enough of him when he is around. She is so so so sweet to him. She just can't figure out exactly what she can do to him though. She knows he isn't like the rest of her plastic babies but she tests things out...like how hard can she squeeze his little arm until he makes a noise, or how much pressure can she use with her face to his, or what he will do if she starts out gently rubbing his head and with each stroke adding a little more to it, or if he will start laughing if she tickles his little feet. It's pretty funny, her intentions are sweet but you still have to sit close by to monitor her little investigation. And when little Evan sees any little baby, with the highest squeal he can manage he says 'bebie'. It is absolutely adorable, and to my surprise he is extra gentle. He says 'saw' (for soft) as he softly caresses him. Melts my heart! So anyway, here are a few priceless pics with baby Lennon, Rae, two of her favorite auntie's Alix and Kobie, and of course, how could I leave these pictures out of Evan!

LENNON JAY NILSSON

What a long time its been! I have been meaning to post about this miraculous day for a while now. First...what a cute name...Lennon! I love it and love him. He is beautiful...truly. He was the second he came out. I have to thank Rach and B for letting me be a part of this beautiful experience. I have been there twice myself with my own 2 kids...but to see it from a whole new perspective, it was amazing. To see my little sister have her first baby, and if I ever would have imagined I would witness B become a dad back in the good ol' high school days, well, words can't express! I don't mean to get all mushy, but you can't leave out the fact that God was in that room handing us the most precious gift this world can offer, and He was felt. Some of the pictures posted are of Rachel and B when they first set eyes on their newborn, and the pictures speak for themselves. The emotions, just typing about it now makes me cry, were so intense and special. The instant love was incredibly alive in both their eyes. I couldn't keep my own cheeks dry! Every time I look at Lennon, it feels like someone is sucking the air out of my chest. He is precious. The feeling that a new life brings is wonderful, and I'm really really really fighting a battle within...how bad do I want one! Soon enough, but anyway, it was really something and I will cherish that experience forever. Thanks again Rach for letting me in on your miracle, it was so...speechless.
