These are the good ol' days ~ I always try to remind myself of this fact...
that THESE truly are the days memories are made of ~
Of course all of our days are
to see out little granddaughter Clara
see her little brother Murray
for the very first time
was one of those special moments
you never, ever get again!!

We took Clara to the hospital Thursday to see her mama and daddy but
most of all to meet her precious new sibling!

I snapped a few photos to share with you and for us to treasure always:

A very happy little girl...we were almost there!!! Uncle Noah came along as well... The very first moment she saw her little brother....
a tired but proud mama holding her angels ~ And now she gets to hold Murray herself! Daddy looks on as Clara examines everything about him ~ I don't know what this look is but
I do know this...
this angel Clara is a ham and loves the camera! More examination ensues...she had to see his fingers and toes! One last stop by the nursery before leaving
and it had a beautiful,
giant carousel giraffe in front!!!
Such a happy and very big sister.... Thank you Lord for letting me witness this joy...
this truly was one of the good ol' days!!!!

And thank you so much for indulging me and letting me
share my family with you ~
and also for your sweet, sweet comments,
I have just loved each and every one!

Wishing you a wonderful fall Friday precious friends! Posted by The Feathered Nest at 12:22 AM Labels: baby Clara, baby Murray, my family 
I think I just fell in love with these moments you just shared.....

September 21, 2012 at 12:37 AM 
Sweet moments for sure! Could it be any better? Cherish this special family time, Dawn! I know you do!
Congratulations to the happy family!

September 21, 2012 at 12:50 AM 
Be still my heart!!! These pictures are so very precious. You must be beaming with love and pride, Dawn!

September 21, 2012 at 2:52 AM 
Oh Wow Dawn! These pictures are precious and priceless! Clara looks as if she has just gone to heaven!
It's wonderful that you have taken so many beautiful photos so you can look back at both babies over the many years to come!
Congratulations to you all!
I'm so very happy for you Dawn!

September 21, 2012 at 4:05 AM 
So happy for your family Dawn, thank you for sharing the pictures. Have to add I about fell out of my chair at the picture of Noah...when did he get so big?

September 21, 2012 at 7:21 AM 
What a happy golden memory! Clara looks like she adores her new brother. So sweet!

September 21, 2012 at 8:31 AM 
Oh Dawn, what precious pictures! Treasures for sure:) Have a blessed day with your new little one! BIG HUGS!

September 21, 2012 at 8:43 AM 
And thank you for sharing the moments with us. Brent and Emily must be so very proud of these beautiful children. I'm hauling John over to see these pictures. He'll love them, too.

September 21, 2012 at 8:49 AM 
Oh Sweetheart bless your lovely family and my they grow in the knowledge of the love of God! Such a precious time for you, the grand children truly are our crown.
I pray for a fast recovery for your daughter and an extra blessing on sweet Clara... she has just been dethroned and doesn't know it... ha.

September 21, 2012 at 8:53 AM 
Wonderful pictures and memories, Dawn! I'll bet she was so excited in the car on the way to see her baby brother.

September 21, 2012 at 9:16 AM 
You can see, Clara is so excited to have her lil brother. She is going to make an awesome big sis.

September 21, 2012 at 9:17 AM 
He did. I knew it. He thinks Clara (in the photo where you describe her as a bit of a ham) has the look of some new brides. He calls it the "I've got him now" look. So cute!

Such beautiful moments captured on camera!! Your new grandson is so perfect and beautiful and Clara looks so happy and so beautiful too. May they flourish in the love that surrounds them in grow up in the Lord, cherishing everyday as a gift. You are so right, we only have this moment, so we should receive it with joy and thanksgiving always. So happy for your family. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for sharing your joy with all of us. Linda

September 21, 2012 at 10:19 AM 
Congratulations to everyone! What wonderful memories you captured Dawn!
Clara looks so perfectly content with her sweet little brother.
Oh, what fun you're going to have with these TWO precious little ones!

September 21, 2012 at 12:00 PM 
what a beautiful family! Clara is a doll and Murray is a beautiful baby!!
Hugs from me.

September 21, 2012 at 2:51 PM 
What beautiful photos you have taken of your precious grandchildren (and Emily, Brent and Noah, too!)!! I got tears in my eyes looking at the ones of Clara delighting in her baby brother. Oh, and the one of Emily and her two babies should be enlarged and put in an 8x10 frame... it's gorgeous.

A million (((hugs))) to you, dear Dawn, as you continue to relish in these "good old days"!

Very, very precious! Reminds me so much of my granddaughter wanting to see her new little brother's toes and fingers :) She is firmly convinced that when he fusses, he is wanting for her to hold his arm and hand. LOL I love it!!

This is such a sweet, sweet post...and Clara and Murray? Beautiful kids and totally adorable names!!

Such precious photos! Congratulations on the arrival of your grandson, Murray! What a handsome guy! He was 7 oz. more than my youngest, and I thought mine was a big boy! Great job to his mama! Clara is going to be an awesome big sister. You can see the love in her eyes.

September 22, 2012 at 3:17 PM 

September 22, 2012 at 8:31 PM 
Such sweet pictures Dawn... big sister and baby brother. I've been out of town and Un-connected.. so I was anxious to see when that little boy finally showed up..well not so little. Glad all is well, how lucky your grandbabies are near by. Best wishes to the whole family.
