Our sweet little Sophia Jane...I hope you don't mind more pictures...
I just can't get enough of this little angel.
Lots of kissing, squeezing and hugging going on here!
Lots of picture taking with every new outfit...
What a miracle that such a tiny little human, straight from Heaven can bring so much JOY into our hearts!
There is no such sweetness found anywhere in the world than a new grandchild!
Grandpa and Sophia...Napping buddies
Just to hold her fills us with such peace...it just seeps into our hearts and souls!How sad the world would be without families and the gift of babies to a family.
Grandpa...falling in love...such an easy thing to do with such a sweet beauty!
While staying with my daughter and her husband we headed out for a couple of fun things to do.We toured this old church house built in 1931 by early settlers of Ceder City, it's really a beautiful building, built in the European style by those who came here from Europe.
Me and behind is Michael and Lindsey with baby and my daughter Tiffany with her two children, Caleb and Ella....we had a fun afternoon.
This a mural on the wall above the baptism font, of Jesus being baptized by John.
And the font, it isn't used anymore but it sure is a neat piece of work done by hand.
The lights in this building are beautiful too~
The wood comes from the mountains near by...it's juniper and it was so pretty!
A lot of work by hand went into this old church...it is still in use today.
Caleb and Ella sitting on the steps of the old church~
We all ate at the Pastry Pub...it has such good food!
We also liked to go to the park in the evening...I loved to see the colors of the sky as the sun started to set for the evening, so peaceful.
Lindsey's little dog Tinkerbell...she is such a little ball of cuteness!
Caleb was a big guy and wanted to carry the blanket!
This a bit blurry but this is one of the dresses I made for Ella...
And here she is in the other one too...such a cute little model!I had such a fun week staying with Michael and Lindsey...
being by her side as she gave birth...sharing in the love of
our littlest grands and I so enjoyed every day there.
I hope you don't mind all the grand kid braggin...
but thats who I am and thats what I am all about!
~My love to each of you~

Hi Julie!Oh I love sharing in your joy. If you have more post them ok,lol.Seriously this is what lifes all about right?She is sure so adorable.I love how she always has a smile on her face LOL.How precious.The outfits oh my.I remember with my first daughter I felt like I had a baby doll I was dressing,putting outfits on taking them off cause they were all so pretty.
The old church is awesome.The pews were very nicely kept.This brings me to a question about Sophia.When, in your church will she be baptized?I know for us we were early my girls both were about one month old.I was a bit older.
Have a joyous rest of the week Julie,I so enjoyed meeting Sophia.
By the way Ive noticed young mommys having blogs here on blogger,maybe your daughter would love starting one we all could see Sophia growing up.lol,that would be fun,I wish they had blogs when I had my first.
Congratulations to all of your family. Sophia is such a darling, I agree heaven on earth. Love all the pictures thanks for sharing such a special time.

Dearest Julie;
What a beautiful baby girl!!! Yes, such a blessing...and thank you for posting the photos of the old 1st Ward Building in Cedar...I was blessed in that building..my grandparents lived just up the street..my Uncle still lives in Cedar on Highland Drive..If Lindsey had a labor and delivery nurse named Lori, that would be my cousin...Oh, boy, memory lane all over again.
Love,
Marilee

Adorable little Sophia in all her cute outfits. Little girls are so much fun to dress! Glad you and PaPa had a great time with your newest addition to the family. I will have a new grandson in October and another suprise in April! That will make 7 grandkids for me...I have a ways to go to catch up with you!
With grandkids that cute, you should brag about them!
Oh, Dear Julie,
I know how your heart is singing. Sophia is totally sweet, soft and beautiful! Kissing her must be your favorite thing to do. Enjoying your joy, dear grandma!
When a grandchild is born, you have bragging rights! She is such a doll, doesn't look like a newborn!
I love the old church you shared pictures of. That font is so beautiful, hand made out of all those rocks. I am sure each rock was placed carefully with so much love! Your family is beautiful!
Hugs to you!

The old church is amazing.

I´m so happy to see your family gathering together around the so lovely new born Sophie Jane and the so lovely Caleb and Ella with the beautiful dresses you made for her.
My favorite picture is that of your husband sleeping together with Sophie in the couch, such a tender and the essence of family picture!!!!
Blessings to all of you,

Hi Julie...you can never brag too much about the grandbabies...and this little new doll is too too adorable..she's so tiny...I remember when "B" was this little. they grow too fast...Enjoy her and I must say it's the Mom's that stay up all night with the new babies and it's the men that you always see in pictures taking that much needed nap with baby on chest...love it!
Was that a statement or a question?...as in "Do you sneak food into the theater just like me?"...or..."Do you sneak food into the theater along with all your other bad habits?"...LOL.
Yes, and I have been known to bring in all at one time 4 hot dogs with chili...a fry...2 bottles of Coke Zero WITH a glass of ice....oh and a few candy bars...I use my Ver Bradley (washable) tote that I refer to as my "Picnic in a Purse"....
She surely is cute, as are the other grandchildren. And I'm an expert on cute grandchildren so I should know! Lovely old building. So much fun to be able to go take a look. Mimi
You are one lucky grandma...Sophia is beautiful...enjoy each and every moment my dear.
.....love Rosie.....
Julie, what a precious beautiful family that you have. I love all of the photos, but esp love the picture of granpa sleeping with baby sophia ~ It is so sweet.
Have a great weekend.
What an adorable grand-daughter! Congratulations on such a cutie! And what beautiful pictures of the church! I figure I will have loads of granddaughters since I have loads of sons. I am looking forward to lots of pink!
congratulations to the parents and granparents ! lovely baby Catherine
Your new granddaughter Sophia is such a beauty. I know you must be in heaven with her birth and your helpful stay. Your blessed life comes through all your photos...and I loved that old chapel. Thanks so much for sharing. I love your blog.
Another precious and beautiful additon to the family. I love the "sleeping" pictures. Such a pretty baby for being just newborn, don't you think? Diana
Don't mind at all, Julie. I gladly share in your joy and happiness. Beautiful little Sophia is very awake already. Her eyes are good open, looking right into the world. So i noticed..
Wishing you a wonderful grand children filled weekend! xxxxx

Mind the grandkid bragging? Are you kidding? Grands are our reward :) and yours are so beautiful. Your entire family is gorgeous like Grandma and Grandpa.
The church is incredible and I'm amazed at how meticulously maintained it is. The stonework is awesome.

Tinkerbell looks like my Fergie! That baby is so sweet. I could just eat her up. You have such an amazing family. A blessed woman indeed!
Sophia is totally adorable! Of course, the other two are also but a new baby is just a precious being that you can not put down. So glad you had such a great time ~ and the church is beautiful! I love to see 'handmade' tributes ~ such beauty.
