welcome, little Lily Jane!

My new granddaughter came last night,
and she came in a hurry.
Though Jill had labor through the afternoon,
they went to the hospital at midnight.
 Lily Jane came at 3:08 a.m.
with one push from her very tough mom!
She's petite, lovely, perfect.

 Birth. Life. So miraculous.
Welcome, Lily Jane.
You and God reminded me last night
that there's nothing more sacred,
more beautiful or holy
than the birth of a baby.

Lily Jane Haller
born 2.9.12
at 3:08 a.m.
5 pounds, 14 ounces
17 inches

Sooo cute and tiny My girls were giants compared to her! But, its not about me. Its about that SWEET Lily Jane. I'm so glad you could be there afterwards to see the new parents and baby. There truly is NOTHING more God-revealing.
