Victoria Christi


Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket

In our home in the early afternoon on Independence Day, we met our third child. She came after my shortest and easiest labor so far. I am thankful beyond words, because that is absolutely nothing I can boast in. Her name means "the Victory of Christ."

Israel and Paschelle returned home yesterday and immediately fell in love with the cute brunette. We're going to be spending this coming week getting used to all the new routines and falling back into some old ones too. In the meantime, I have a few wonderful guest posts to share with you, starting on Monday!

Thank you all for your congratulations and well-wishes across Instagram, Twitter, and the rest of the virtual world! I've really loved reading all your messages and comments. I can't wait to share all of Victoria's little landmarks with you as she grows.
