Not me. No, no, no... not me.
My daughter.
We went down to Atlanta to visit the Aldriches and to see their new baby, Ellie. McKenzie fell hard in love with that sweet little baby, and as we backed out of their driveway for the last time, tears rolled down McKenzie's cheeks because 'I just don't want to leave Baby Eleanor.' There were hundreds of beautiful moments as I watched my daughter hold, rock, sing and bounce to the strings in her own heart...And I never got a real picture of it.
I pulled my camera out only once during our visit to take some pictures of Ellie after her baby blessing - - - McKenzie was reluctant to let me take the baby, so I solicited her help in calming Ellie while I rearranged furniture, and I took a few shots of her only to test the light. What was I thinking?! The result is a couple of not-so-great pictures of a beautiful memory.
McKenzie told Katie that she hopes she'll get a baby sister soon. How about we compromise, Kenz... no new baby, but you can come look at these pictures any time you want. :)
I agree, Kenz. She's pretty cute, and I didn't want to leave her either. But remind me sometime to tell you about the round the clock feedings that come along with newborns...
Oh wow, beautiful pictures Lindsay! I especially love the one of Marley kissing Ellie--all of a sudden Marley looks so much older!
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet pictures!
ReplyDeleteSuch BEAUTIFUL pictures Linds. You have a gift. It helps to have such a beautiful family to work with.
ReplyDeleteTell Kenz to pick up a new baby at the store. Before I had Brianna that's where Katherine told me I could get one. If only...
I will treasure those pictures always.
ReplyDeleteAnd my eyes popped out of my head when I read the title, because you had so emphatically declared that you WEREN'T baby hungry!
Nice pictures Linds! Good work Katie and Eric...she is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLindsay, these pictures are beautiful. It's almost as if I am looking at a real, live baby and not just a picture. I was hoping that the title referred to you though. Our youngest boys were born the same summer and I'm totally feeling pressure to have another before they get too far apart, but I like you, am NOT baby hungry--at all. Especially for those sleepless nights. But I thought, well, if Lindsay is ready, maybe I can be. Guess I'll have to find encouragement elsewhere.
