Dawson Wade

This is my sweet, great nephew, 

Dawson Wade Higginbotham.

 I met him last week

when we went to 

Dauphin Island

for our vacation.

 His mom and big brother
came to see us at the beach
and I was able to babysit
while they played.

I was overjoyed to get to
capture these sweet images
while he slept.
 Isn't he an angel?

He favors my dad
in this photo. He also
favors my brother,
Barry, who would
have been thrilled
to know his grand
children if he had
lived.  Dawson
and his brother
Devin would have
loved their PawPaw
Barry, too!

I will forever love
babies...



sleeping,
awake, crying,
laughing. They
are the hope
that tomorrow
will come...and hopefully will be better than today.

More Pics of E

This is my

most precious

niece...

E.

She is my 

favorite

right now...

because she is

the newest

little one

in our family.

This is my

sister-in-law.

She is a 

great mommy.

This is my

brother-in-law.

He is Dave's brother.

He is notorious

for aggravating

his nieces and nephews.

We love his two

little ones

(and their mommy)

too much to 

pay him back!

I mean, really,

could you ever

aggravate

this sweet face?

I think not!!!

It took

a while

for sleep 

to come.

When it did,

however,

there was

sweet peace.

She is

eight days old

in these

images.

Sweet, sweet

E!

Your Aunt Renae

loves you

very much!!

Our Newest Addition

This is the newest addition to

our family...

our extended family, 

that is.

She was born

Friday,

June 15, 2012

at 10:21 am.

She weighed

7 pounds

and measured 

18 inches long.

It has been quite some time

since we have had a

little one 

at our house.

Sweet Little Feet

Sweet Little Fingers

              This sweet girl has a big brother
                  you may have seen earlier
                           in my blog.
                     T was very excited
                   to see his little sister, E,
                   and we were and are
             very happy she arrived safely.

                 

        E is the eighth little

        girl in our family

        and the fourteenth

        grandchild.

        We now have a

        great grandchild

        and another one

        on the way.

        Our family is

        growing

        by leaps

        and bounds.

 I know it
will be awhile
(I pray it will be)
until mine
and Dave's family
grows more.

Grandchildren
will be
welcomed
but not hurried.

We are excited for all God has in store 

for each of four children.

We pray it includes 

four sweet mates,

grandchildren,

and four happy homes.

Someday maybe I will be 

posting pictures

of our own grandchildren here

...but not too soon.

Our New Friend

This is one of our newest friends.

She is a beautiful baby.

She has Gerber baby qualities.

Her mom has had several beautiful babies 

who now are older and

still beautiful little girls.

Like this one...

..who wasn't much for the

picture taking.

Her baby sister, 

however,

 was another 

story.

Thanks to Jessica

her sister, 

and

her mom.

Such beautiful girls!!
