It's a Girl!

One of the reasons I was so excited to go home for break was that my bff, Colleen, her hubby, Landon, and sister, Ansley were expecting the latest addition to their family to arrive. And she did!

Corinne Mawdsley Faivre was born on January 3, 2010. She's beautiful. Just gorgeous, as you can see. Well, I'm being a little selfish here with the view but she's beautiful!

The best part was I got to be there to visit them at hospital; to hang out and hold her and just to spend some extra special time with her and her wonderful mommy, Colleen. I feel really lucky to have been there for this special time. Would have liked to have spent more time with them all but with a bum ankle, it can cramp baby visiting style and the ability to help. Regardless of that, I feel really priviledged to be there and get to spend the time I was able with her and Colleen.

Here's what I've learned about Corinne. She loves to sleep. She loves to cuddle. And on my last visit with them she stayed awake for quite a while so I got to actually chat with her a little. She's a great listener and likes to talk sometimes too.

Corinne's a precious addition to their already wonderful family and I'm thankful to have been there to welcoming her to the family but also to be there with her for her life.

Can't wait to see her again in June!
