Well, Hello, Janie Kathryn!
Wait, wait, Janie Kathryn! You're already here?! But we weren't expecting you for ten more days!
Well, my dear, let's get this party started! Is everything in order? Let's look at the photos for a little help.
Relieved and beautiful mommy with sweet baby girl in her arms -- check.
Proud, protective daddy with his newest little princess bundle -- check.
Big sister Everly ready and anxious to help -- check.
And a single shot of a tiny darling with sweetheart lips, slender fingers and toes, and eyes cautiously taking in this new world -- check.
In this stack of pics? Let's see.
A great-grandmother in love with this little treasure.
Over-the-moon grandparents delighting in the wonder of you.
Aunts and uncles and cousins and joy and love, love, love!
Check, check, check!
Months of expecting -- and still you surprised us! But really? The sweet gift of YOU arrived just in time!
Just in time to remind us all of God's goodness.
Just in time to sprinkle little girl sparkles where they were needed most.
Just in time to capture our hearts and enchant us with your pure-love baby magic.
Janie Kathryn, I pray that every stage and step in your life is the same as your arrival -- a happy surprise!
May you delight in learning to walk and talk, laugh and love, play and work. May you early in life unwrap the mysteries of God's love and grace. May you find fulfillment and satisfaction in recognizing and sharing talents and abilities.
May you give of yourself lavishly and selflessly, may you find confidence and hope in the Lord, and may you see others through eyes of compassion and kindness.
May your heart be strong, your mind be sharp, and your hands be ready and generous.
May you always know the love of devoted family, faithful friends, and your awesome God. May your faith be wild and brave, your creativity free and bold, your soul innocent and grace-giving. May God protect you in the tender places, heal you in the broken places, and walk with you in the dark places. May He rejoice over your victories and sing over you in celebration all the days of your life!
And may you, Janie Kathryn, never for one moment doubt that you have my heart! Thank you for surprising me with YOU!
