"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will -- to your surprise -- miss them profoundly."

--Thomas S. Monson, 2009

Introducing.....Olivia Grace Anderson


Yay!!!!! She finally came! Olivia Grace Anderson born August 10, 2009 at 11:34 am. She weighed 9 lbs 2 oz and was 18 inches long. I was starting to feel like she would never come, and then that Monday morning before the due date she came into the world and I was so happy! I still am, and can not believe she is 3 weeks old already. It sometimes feels like she has been here much longer than 3 weeks. We are all just absolutely in love with her. The older girls just love her so much, and all three of them do such a great job with her. Here are a bunch of pictures of the last few weeks:







The girls all excited to look at their new baby sister:










Her first bath at home:



Here she is at 2 weeks 5 days old. She is so alert...


...and she is already smiling! She loves to look into people's faces and will start to grin! It is so fun:
She is just so nice to have. We are so grateful for her and so happy she is in our family.
