Welcome Little One...


September 23rd was a special day.

Sienna Hope Tait

came into the world at 1:50 p.m. weighing 6 lbs. 15 oz. and measuring 18 inches long.

We wanted Sienna's name to suit her perfectly - and I believe it does! Sienna means "delicate" and her middle name radiates Hope. We have our Grace and Hope to hold close to our hearts. Our little girls remind me about the qualities I want to emulate.

**This is Gracie's first reaction to holding Baby Sister.


We had kind visitors during our stay in the hospital. Uncle Michael is so proud to have another niece!






**After a midnight feeding - I just had to snap a picture!


Gracie has been dealing with the transition fairly well. She likes to give Sienna her binkie if she is crying.


A newborn brings an unfailing feeling of the spirit into a home. Knowing I am holding an infant that, just days ago, was in heaven - is humbling. Blame it on the hormones :), but I can't look at this little one without feeling a slice of heaven in my own living room. When Sienna drifts off to sleep, she gives me those smiles that makes me think she's still so close to those on the other side. The veil is so thin, and I can't help but wonder if those in heaven are giving her the encouragement she needs as she embarks on her new life here in this world! What a gift we have been given as parents!
