Today Brianne is 4 weeks old. Wow! This past month has completely vanished into thin air for me. I never "planned" on having five children, however our family didn't feel complete until Brianne arrived. After nearly twelve years, it's fun to have a little girl again. I love all the PINK! Her brothers are sure to leave their mark though. I often find Spiderman action figures or Matchbox cars in her bassinette.
Megan, of course, is a wonderful big sister. She loves to hold Brianne and dress her. Today she took care of her nearly the entire Sacrament meeting. Matthew and Jeremy always want to hold and kiss her too. Jeremy asks hourly (or so it seems), "Can I kiss your baby, Mom?" Andrew's good at finding articles that belong to Brianne, (binkies, blankets, headbands, etc.) and bringing them to me, saying, "Baby, baby".

It seems apropos that our last child should come in the month of March. It was eighteen years ago on St. Patrick's Day that Brent and I hung out together until 2:00 in the morning after a Church dance, and so began "us". I am grateful that we overcame all the obstacles thrown in our path and have now completed our eternal family. We are so blessed to be entrusted with these five beautiful children. Now the work truly begins, to bring them all safely back to their Heavenly Father.
