It's A Miracle...It's A Baby...It's A Girl!

                              Babies are miracles sent from above,
                     that fill our lives with joy and love!



Our new baby arrived at 1:04 early on the morning of Friday, May 13th, 2011!
We couldn't be happier with our sweet new bundle...what a precious blessing straight from the loving heart of God...it overwhelms me with humble gratefulness to Him!



Aliyah Barbara Faith

Aliyah~"Exalted, praised, noble"
"A woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised."
Barbara~Named after her sweet maternal Grandma~
Faith~"Unquestioning belief and complete trust in God"
"If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed...nothing shall be impossible unto you."

Checking out our brand new baby shortly after her arrival...yep, Kaiti, it's really a baby sister!!!:o)






Hi Daddy Dear! Here I am!

Taking turns holding our new baby sister...
Kaiti's turn~

Damien's turn~

Our great midwife, Brenda...
She's been with us through thick and thin for nearly the past ten years; the last five pregnancies. We're blessed to have her as a friend and midwife!

After our nice herbal bath. Auntie Ness was here for the birth too...it would seem strange to have a baby without Auntie Ness being here! Matter-a-fact she and Daddy even delivered one of them when Brenda didn't make it in time:o)



Getting Aliyah dressed for the first time...
it always reminds me of something I read one time about turning a little angel into a human -:o)



Big brother Chad (or Dassy:o) She looks alot like him!



And big brother, Aubrey--
could any little girl ask for finer big brothers!?!


 

Jensy wakes up to a big surprise!

One of the first things he said was "tummy"--proof that he did have clue though! LOL!



Big brother Jens...he loves babies and likes kissing his little sister on her soft head.









And last, but not least, big bro Ty and baby Aliyah--

 

Baby Aliyah in her cradle---I have to admit, she hasn't spent much time in it though--she likes to be snuggled up with Mommy (or at least Mommy likes to have her snuggled up with her!:o)

Baby Aliyah and Pop



Sweet Baby Girl...



Aunt Amie and the little cousins with Kaiti & Aliyah~



How special! Aunt Mary Joy got to meet Aliyah before having to go back to California! And Uncle Marlins and the cousins got to see her before leaving for Honduras...



Proud Papa with his two babies:o)



What could be lovelier than snuggling with a sweet newborn baby! Precious little sisters!






"While you can't recall what you did with your newborn all day, somehow it took every minute of your time."
So thank you, with all my heart, to my own family first of all, for all your wonderful help...I couldn't do it without you! And to my extended family...your thoughtfulness and help is also so appreciated! And to all our kind friends who brought/sent food...what a blessing it was to our family! You're all so awesome!!!!! I thank God for each one of you and pray He will bless you all in a very special way!
