Welcome to the World, little Natalie!

 Natalie Quinn was born December 19th, 2012 at 2:52 p.m.  She weighed 7 lbs 14 oz. and was 19 1/2 inches long.  What a bundle of joy and peace.  We love her to pieces already and are adjusting so well to being a family of 4.  What a blessing to have family and friends helping take care of us, bringing meals, watching Andrew, helping in so many ways!  We are truly blessed.

 Joe's idea to put our "little present" under the tree!!  Christmas morning, 2012 :)


 So glad mom and dad got to come out to stay for a while, and help us adjust to being at home with two little ones.  Natalie was just checking her out as she held her...so sweet!  Andrew LOVED having Gr. & Gr. Brown at the house.  He had non-stop playmates :)  We loved that too!!

Full arms, Full heart.  Thank you, Father, for the blessing of these two sweet babes.  We hope to honor you as we raise them, love them, enjoy them.  I read a quote by Dr. James Dobson the other day.
"One of the greatest privileges in living is to bring a baby in to the world to love and care for."

I whole-heartedly agree.

Workin' little man

 I captured our little guy working a few weeks ago, as Joe was putting in the new windows to the sunroom/andrew's new room!  He is definitely enamored with tools and "helping" do whatever dad is doing!  What a funny little look he has on his face here :)
 My favorite shot....

 Somebody get this boy a tool belt! 


Another favorite...completely oblivious to his mom who is taking pics like crazy :)
