Our little, beautiful one, was born yesterday, April 6, 2008 at 5:45pm, into a warm, still, spring Sunday evening.
Her eyes are a light blue and laced with long lashes and she has her mama's luscious full mouth. She weighs 9lbs. 9 oz., and is 22 1/4 "long. Brooke is a fearless birth warrior. I am so filled up, having witnessed such loving, selfless giving over of one's body. Matt too, was the very focused and clear papa throughout. And Satchel, of course, is tickled beyond belief.

Congratulations one and all! So glad that Temple is here safe and sound.
Many blessings,
~Noreen
