Love Mark...

Baby Kate is almost 3 weeks old...I can't believe it! We survived a whole week with my mom gone! I was am so lucky to have such a WONDERFUL mom! She truly is magic....she can keep both kids happy, the house clean, have dinner ready and still seem relaxed! She makes it all seem so easy. Hopefully one day I will be able to be half the mom she is! I love you mom...we miss you tons!
Baby Kate has come with a sweet, calm, relaxing personality....we hope that it stays. Along with being a wonderful baby she also came with a "love mark" on her forehead. Last week we took her the Children's Phoenix Hospital to see a dermatology specialist. They say it is still too early to determine what it is....but most likely she will have to have laser surgery starting around 4 months. They are pretty hopeful that by the time she is 1 1/2 that it should be gone.
I left feeling sad and sorry for little baby Kate....but as I walked through the waiting room at Children's Phoenix I gained some serious perspective.
I feel so blessed to have such a healthy, beautiful, happy little girl! We are so glad that she is in our family!


She can't wait to meet everyone....thank you, thank you for everything all of our friends and family have done! From bringing dinner, to taking Carter, to driving carpools! We are so blessed to have you in our lives!

She is just gorgeous! I should mention that Max came with a large mark on his head and it had to be removed. They started around 6 months and finished around 18 months too. While tramatic at the time... the results today are great. Call if you want details! We actually had a plastic surgeon do it-- and have some great names to refer if you need. We too went to Phoenix Childrens Hospital.

We love you and can't wait to meet her!!

congrats!she is so sweet. I bet that red mark gets pretty bright when she cries? Not to compare- because it isn't really the same- but Ryann's stork bites on her eyelids used to get SO BRIGHT RED when she really started screaming. some day our little girls will be in school together! how fun and exciting! We can't wait to see you.

She is beautiful! It is hard when the mom leaves. I dreaded the day my mom had to leave, I didn't know how to function without her at first. soon enough you will be into your own groove and will be an old pro! She makes that love mark look good!
