A baby girl!

This morning at 5:07, we welcomed a sweet baby girl to our family!

Daisy Aurora Nielson
6 lbs 14 oz., 19 1/2 inches long

We were surprised and happy to finally get out the stack of little pink clothes and blankets that has been sitting in the cedar chest for so long.

We are all doing well. We love her already and we are so happy she's here!

I love how excited the boys look in these pictures. And Daisy, of course, looks just lovely.

Last night, we were paddling around the Daybreak lake with some friends, and I thought, "I wonder what Marilyn is up to." Haha. Little did I know.

WOHOO!!! Congrats Marilyn and Sam and boys! We are SOO excited for you! I totally wanted you to get a girl! She is a doll, and I love the name. When can I bring you dinner?!? Or lunch? Let me know; I'm around if you need any help. :) Penny is excited to have another girl on the street to play with.

I just got back from my vacation and am so happy to have this wonderful news waiting for me.
Look at her! She looks just like me...ahem, I didn't see my name anywhere in Daisy Aurora Nielsen. Was it a misprint, or [nervous chuckle] or a joke [eyes darting from side to side] or an omission? I love her! When can we come visit? Oh, I want to see her!!
