Sunday

What a beautiful Sunday afternoon. We stayed inside today because Millie is only 10 days old and we want to keep her protected from outside germs for a few weeks. We dressed her up anyway and did a photo shoot. She is so precious, and I love her whispy, just-washed hair.

The day we left the hospital was last week on Sunday. Some people from church came in to share the sacrament. As they blessed the sacrament, tears just started flowing out of me. Life is different now, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I have been blessed and trusted with a beautiful baby. Everything spiritual is seen in a new light. I have an eternal perspective that reaches beyond Juan and me. It includes our little girl. Our whole little family.

We've been home for a week now and it has just flown by. She is a sleeper and an eater. I had a diet coke one evening and it kept her up all night. She's not like her mom in that sense, caffeine doesn't keep me awake. She is a daddy's girl through and through, she loves to snuggle up to dad. Even today she was smiling for him and so I wanted a picture. She looked up and saw me with the camera and made a squinty face. Such a smart girl, she was bracing herself for the flash!

Here she is with dad.

And she loves mom too. Here we are in our St Patrick's day green.
