What a Difference a Week Makes

Kate was one week old on Monday November 9. It is hard to believe that just a week ago, she was not yet a part of our family (other than just in Mommy's belly). We both feel that this has been the absolute best week of our lives. We knew that the experience of parenthood would be special but we had no idea how truly awesome it would be. While it is impossible to capture how overwhelmed, blessed, and proud we are to be Kate’s Mom and Dad, below is a snapshot of some of our thoughts and reflections over the past week:

· We never knew how much love we could feel for someone the moment we met them for the very first time.
· We never knew how unimportant so many of the little things that used to keep us busy and stressed out really were.
· We didn't fully realize how our parents must feel and how much they love us until we understood the love we feel for Kate.
· We feel so lucky to have been blessed with our little miracle.

In honor of her one week birthday, we thought we would share some pictures from an amateur photography session that we held with Kate. She was very patient and cooperative and we thought we got some really neat pics if we do say so ourselves.
