Blessings.

Jordan Rebecca Holmes, my first niece!!! was born on June 24, 2011.  I haven't met her yet but cannot even WAIT to!  She is so perfect and precious and I can't wait to hold all 8 lbs of her in my arms.


Totally adorable, right?!
Gosh, I love her. 
SO much already.

Know what really gets the tears flowing though? The fact that my sis and bro-in-law gave her my name as her middle name. Is there any greater honor than to have someone named after you? I get all choked up just thinking about it. 

I'm excited for the years to come, to watch this little one grow and learn and love...learning from my baby sister as she takes on the wonderful new responsibility of caring for one completely dependent upon her...watching as Jordan's new daddy takes on the role of protector and provider, realizing the greater responsibility they share together for this sweet new life.  It's going to be a great adventure!
