welcome to the world


elizabeth lauren hansen finally decided to join the rest of us. she gave her momma a pretty hard time and i believe i overheard that she will be grounded for the next three years!

born just before 5 pm, she weighed 9 lb 1 oz and was about 21 inches long.

our little libby lu is cute as can be. round chubby cheeks just like her grand auntie. (am i grand or great? hmmm i like the sound of both. maybe i'll be her great grand aunt!) she does have her momma lyndie's dimpled chin and i believe already has her poppa nate wrapped around her little finger!

i am overwhelmed with the prospects and deeply moved by the honor of a name sake. we share a good name. some seven generations of elizabeth. i loved knowing that i came from good stock. little libby's grandpa and i share the names of gram's parents, a fact i have always cherished. may this little one remember that she is loved and watched over both by those who have passed and those still present. big hugs and kisses, always.
