Happy to be a Mom!

I love this thought from President David O. McKay

"She, who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions -- deserves the admiration and the plaudits of man. But she who rears a family of beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, long after paintings have faded, and books have been destroyed she deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity, she is co-partner with the Creator himself."

Marianne Naomi Wagstaff


It took us awhile to decide on a name for this little. Monday night Devin came to visit after putting Spencer to bed and we sat down and spent some time with our little one and decided to call her Marianne Naomi. So Notre Dame means "our lady" and the lady they are referencing is Mary Mother of Jesus. So we thought Marianne would be an appropriate connection to our year out here in Indiana.
Devin calls her our little lady.

Also my darling sister is named Katie-Anne, anne spelled with an E like in Anne of Green Gables, so she is also named after her aunt. And then Naomi, of course is after her mother, but Naomi was named after her special Grandmother Ruth Naomi. So this little angel has a lot of special meaning and connection to her name.

Just home, and spencer taking a peak. Spencer has been wonderful with her. He gives everything in his life about 5 seconds worth of attention and she is no different. She gets a hi and sometimes a pat and then he is off. He says her name so cute "Murryanne"
All in Pink!
Coming home outfit.
