Do you see how proud I am of my little Hawaiian baby!!! Brooke called today and asked where she came from. All that dark hair and and dark skin?
When they put Gwyn in my arms I was so surprised at the sudden feeling of being complete, not that she was the end of my children but at the fact that I had my hearts desire. I was also so surprised at the way she looked. I always thought my daughter would be bald and fair. Imagine my surprise when she was so dark, and even had dark eyebrows...anyone who really knows me, knows I would kill to have darker features.....instead I have white eyebrows (thanks to makeup they look dark) and lighter skin. I am pretty much very Scandinavian.
I was so smitten with her from the moment I saw her. The day we found out she was a girl, My perma smile and glow of extreme happiness started. I think I must have smiled for the next four months, and every few days I would take out her ultrasound pictures just to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
I love my boys so much, but I was a GIRLY GIRL! I have three younger sisters that I cuddled until the day I got married. This little girl has made my complete. My amazing Aunt Eilleen Crochet this blessing gown for the happy princess.
Gwyn has a cousin Ella who is three months older than her. This was there first meeting.

Lilo!!!!! Turns out she was the Santa Clara Surf Girl.....
My first pulled your blog up, only that first picture showed. I thought, "who is that pretty baby?" Then I scrolled down and realized that baby was Gwyn. It's funny because yesterday I was watching the picture slide show that comes up as a screen saver on my computer. A picture I took of Gwyn and Brooke come up and I thought how fun it will be that Brooke will be having a little girl soon. In fact, I think I will post that picture on my blog so you can see the two beautiful ladies together.
Okay...the first sentence should have read "When I first pulled up your blog...." Call it lack of sleep...too many kids...to much clutter...
