Oh Katie! She is so beautiful! Her color is so good and she is just plain pretty!
And YOU look FABULOUS! I never look that cute just after giving birth!
I am so glad to see her and have been keeping up with your happy day through my mom.
Blessings on this new addition to your family!

By the way, I was looking at Ali Edwards' blog (She is from a mag called Creating Keepsakes). Her son has autism... check out her blog... look to the left and she has a section called "Autism" with a ton of links and things. Just thought that I would share. :) Here is her blog link: http://aliedwards.typepad.com/

Hope all is well with baby Lucy!!
