Seriously, congrats to you both. Expect a small, but crammed to the gills, box of newborn baby clothes to arrive on Monday or sooner. While folding them up last night, Justin and I had to siiiigh — I held up one of the “just born” onesies that Sara wore her first month and it’s bittersweet now ‘cuz the entire thing isn’t even long enough to go from her neck to her diaper’s waistband, now.

Cherish every moment, even the harried, “What exactly did we get ourselves into, again?” moments. The old chestnut that they grow up before you know it? Totally true, especially in this first year. And take lots of photos, even if they aren’t masterpieces photographically, they are because Lola is in them.

Love to the new ‘fam!

- Shannon, Justin & Sara
