Sweet Skyler. . .

My niece, Skyler Susan, was born yesterday (2.12.12— what an awesome birthday!) I flew into Chicago early in the morning after missing the last flight out on the 11th. We thought I might actually miss it– but Skyler had other plans. She kind of liked where she was. So my rockstar of a sister labored for almost 24 hours and pushed for almost three hours (with NO drugs). I was truly impressed with her strength (although– you do remember her doing yoga while being 8 months pregnant??) She was incredible— and out came this precious baby with a FULL head of dark hair. I love her to pieces… My mom’s birthday is today– so she got an amazing gift of a 3rd grandchild as her most favorite present! Happy Birthday, mom. We love you!
ENJOY:

No words to describe how much I love these two little monkeys. Took a few bribes and a lot of patience to get some shots of them today. . . but Ella was already getting dressed up for the Daddy-Daughter-Dance, so I knew I had to make it work. And it did. :) ENJOY!
