Visiting Baby Anna

Anna Catherine - 1 week old

Mama and Baby

John's not the baby anymore. He said "ba-by" when he saw her.

Shawna and Elizabeth (2 years old)

It's very strange to be holding such a little baby- and it's not John! He's watching me hold baby Anna and was helping me with her pacifier.
