May I introduce our little addition, Violet Emily Anne Penney.
We arrived home from hospital yesterday afternoon and mom and baby are resting and doing well. In fact, both are napping – one on my chest as I type this with one hand. Our newly expanded family will be busy at home getting into our new groove so please excuse my absence from the store and bloggosphere for a bit! But don’t worry, I’ll be back soon…
Until then say hello to Baby Violet!

She’s beautiful! Congratulations!
She is beautiful, love her name! Congrats to you all and family.

You must be over the moon to be parents…. enjoy each and every moment even the the not so fun ones as now time will begin to fly and before long she will be heading off to school. Again she is sooooo gorgeous. Thank you for the update and of course the gorgeous picture…. I know there I go again but it is true.
