Baby Annelise Arrived!!

Annelise,

You arrived a wee bit early and delighted us all with your arrival. Caroline went to more than one of your pre-natal checkups and had been counting down the days to meet "her" baby, so when you were on the way, she bounded out of bed at midnight and eagerly lead the way through the parking deck into the hospital so she could become a big sister.

Caroline is by far your biggest admirer. She can't go more than three minutes without showering you with kisses. When you cry, she deems you "a little bit sad," gives you hugs and tickles, and assures you that all is alright because "Big Sister is here." She is often convinced that the reason you are sad is because your daddy is away, but she assures you: "Daddy is at work; he will be back home soon."

Caroline loves to snuggle with you and always asks for permission first. You have yet to object. She is oh so careful when readjusting your blanket and makes sure we can all see your mouth so you can breathe.

You fill our hearts with love and joy, and we are so happy you are part of our family.

xxoo,
Mommy
