Mom, dad and baby

When the big girls saw these pictures they teased that it looked like we were new parents.

New parents to Noah... that is true!

However, we looked a whole lot younger when we were actually NEW parents!

I have learned though,

that I love being a parent, no matter how experienced I am at it!

I love holding my newborn for the first time, and every time after...
I love that after all these years, and all of our kids,

we still find such absolute joy in seeing our new baby

and wondering who they will become!

I am so very grateful for our sweet baby Noah.
He has brought so much joy and peace into our home...

and I am blessed to be a 'new' mom to this sweet baby boy!
