Introducing… Harper Albi Harris

November 2, 2011

Born at our home on October 14th at 12:20 am.

Named after my most favorite grandparents, who taught me the importance and value of family.

(photo taken by the talented Jude Mooney.)

He is only three weeks old and I am still completely blown away by it all…

By the fact that he was once inside of me.

By how absolutely amazing women are.

By seeing my son bundled in my husband’s arms.

By the love we have received from our incredible community.

By the multitude of faces…

…one creature can make…

…in a matter of seconds.

By my mom.

By my dog, who sat quietly with me during the whole (very long) birth.

And by this new person…

…who is making me fall in love…

…a little bit more…

….every day.

Congratulations and welcome to the world Harper. He is adorable! I have two children, and the love you feel for a newborn is like no other, I wish I could go back to those first few days. Enjoy every second, they grow so fast (mine are now 11 and 13, boohoo).

I love all the photos, but the one with your dog is amazing, what a smart creature your dog is.

Can’t wait to see more pictures!
