Eleanor Mae

It's been a big week for our family. The boys were SO EXCITED to meet their new cousin, Eleanor Mae.

Babies are exquisitely life-affirming - vibrant and vulnerable. And she is perfect - dark blue eyes like miniature Lake Tahoes, long toes, fuzzy blonde hair, charitable cheeks.

Tucker got a little teary-eyed holding her. Tolliver calculated what grade he'll be in when she goes to kindergarten, thinking ahead about helping her learn the ropes. Hank sang to her, his "quietest version" of Twinkle Twinkle. She has no idea how adored she is already.

Grandma Eleanor was the kind of lady who smiled with her whole face, who looked at you with eyes that made you feel very loved.
We can't wait to see what kind of lady little Nora turns out to be.

Nora is so lucky to have Aunt Jenni, Uncle Andy and three loving cousins -- more like big brothers -- right around the corner!
