Ok, I'm tearing up here. What a sweet little bundle. And can it be that downy little head is tinged with red hair?
Give me ten years and I'm gonna want some of those grandbabies of my own.

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner
If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles, how can it be called progress?
Thank you for introducing this wee bundle of joy to us, Maggie! What an adorable little lady she is ... All the best to the whole family!

I love that first candid pic of her being held with the other children looking on. She's a sturdy-looking little mortal. Her face has a lot of character already. And she has something of the same nose and cheeks and mouth of the little girl standing behind her.
Many blessings on her and all her people together!
How wonderful, Maggie!! I'm so happy for all of you, and I agree with Stoirmeil. I like the first picture of her the best, with the other children looking on. What a great, loving picture!
She does look like she's got quite the strong will, doesn't she? Better watch out for her! She'll be leading that group of youngsters before long!
All my very best to you and your family. Welcome Ashton!

P.S. How's daughter #2 coming? She's due very soon, too, and I hope she and baby are still okay. Hugs to all!
