Welcome Sakura

This beautiful baby




is my newborn cousin

Sakura

Sakura means cherry blossom in Japanese.You might think she was named after these...














But she's really named after these...





















...Sakura markers!
My uncle is an artist so her name is an homage to his favorite markers. Pretty special I think.
It's just a sign she will make a big mark on the world.








Look at that cherry blossom! Oh, my heart is a puddle right now.

















Dad took this one.



 




















My mama with her first niece! Love.
 
The little cousins hands.
 
We are just so grateful to God for this precious, healthy baby! The birth went well, and Ally and Mike are in bliss.  It's just great.
 
 I always forget how amazing it is to hold a newborn-the sweet smell, the soft breathing, the stretches and yawns...it's just so beautiful.
 
We are just in love with this little baby. 
Can you tell?
 
xoxo
Emily
