Introducing Marguerite Jane

Our bundle of joy, Marguerite Jane!

Two days old:


Joe and Elizabeth (with blotchy faces from crying with Marguerite's birthmother) hold Marguerite at the hospital:


The Leone munchkins meet their little sister, Marguerite, for the first time, at the home of our new friends, the Cavanaughs:


Anna Marie provides tender loving care:


Kathleen can't contain her excitement:


William is Big Brother Extraordinaire. He accompanied Marguerite to her doctor appointment today and was a huge help.


Therese and Andrew are like Mini-Mom and Mini-Dad, doting over Marguerite. Therese is already asking if she's old enough to babysit. [Let's talk about eight years from now, Sweetie.]


A few more photos to round out it all out. Is she adorable, or what?
