Here's my little niece, Julia on her first day in this great big, wide world. She's my sister, Elaine's daughter.

Here's daddy, Mike.



She had a difficult time entering the world as you can see by the mark on her face from the forceps. We are glad, though, that she arrived safely.

I got to spend some time helping Elaine and Julia the first week that they were home from the hospital. Here I'm having some cuddle time with little Julia.

I got to take Julia for her first walk.

She's dressed up for her first Christmas party. Isn't she just a little angel.
