Sister

Three Men...














... and a Little Lady.



These are some very proud big brothers! Can you tell?


Just as they should be, when you've got something this adorable laying around at home, 
just waiting to be snuggled with! Let me tell you about her:


Claire Emelia Gailey came into the world at 9:21 the evening of February 20th, 2013,
following a lengthy induction and an expired epidural.


Weighing in at 8 lbs. 8.2 oz.
At a petite 20 1/4 inches.


Perfect and healthy with all ten fingers and ten tiny beautiful toes...


... and oodles of soft brown hair.


She was blessed on Sunday, March 3rd, 2013.
She sleeps about as much as these photos would suggest... 
unless you stop by our house between midnight and 2:00 am. 


She is super easy-going. 
And yes, she already loves pink. Mommy says so.


"Claire, the moment I met you, I swear, I felt as if something somewhere had happened to me, which I couldn't see. And then, the moment I met you again, I knew in my heart that we were friends. It had to be so, it couldn't be no. But try, as hard as I might do, I don't know why, you get to me in a way I can't describe. Words mean so little when you look up and smile. I don't care what people say, to me you're more than a child. Oh Claire."
-Gilbert O'Sullivan
