Meeting Irene

The kids and I traveled to Palm Desert this past weekend so the kids could their baby cousin, Irene. They were so excited to see her!  Every time Claire prays she says, "Bless baby Irene come out of Sue-Sue's tummy." :) The kids could not believe how tiny she was.

 They got to help give her a bath...and they asked ALL day long when that bath would be. :)

They each got to hold her...me included. :)

Claire always had the slightest grin while holding her. She liked to point out each tiny body part. I'm sure she was thinking of all of the tricky things she'll teach her when she gets older. :)

Jane just kept saying, "She's sooo cute."

Linda is just a natural mother. She loved taking care of her and getting her clothes and diapers and things.

Bruce loves his cousin. He said he was more excited to see her than the fireworks.
