Happy Birthday, Rose!
February 11th, 2011
Here’s just a few snapshots of our day… many more to come when we get home!
Meeting my sweet Rose!
She looks exactly like Anna Kate in this picture!
The big sisters arrive on the scene!!!
PondFam5!
Anna Kate gets to hold Rose for the first time!
Such a proud big sister! I wore this overall dress to the hospital when I met my little brother, John, so Anna Kate’s outfit is very special!
Baby Rose had really cool presents for her big sisters! (wink)
When Anna Kate saw her Dora purse, she yelled, “Thank you, Rose!!!” It was the sweetest thing!
Noelle did a great job today. Right here in this moment she said, “Rose is the sweetest little blossom.” I couldn’t believe she thought to say that. What special girls we have!
And the next moment we are back to goof ball central!
Check out all of this black hair!!! She wins the darkest and most hair baby award for the Pond sisters!!
Our little “blossom” is ready for her first night’s sleep. Good night, baby Rose!
We had a great birth day and are so happy our baby is here!!!

Dear Melissa, Mike, Noelle, and Anna Kate, what a treat to see the pictures of beautiful Rose. Michael just sent them over. And, Rose is already such a fashion plate, wearing absolutely delightful clothes from her first moments.
And, thank you, Noelle, to you and your dad for the phone message announcing Rose’s arrival. What a lovely way to let us know. I appreciated the message so much.
All best wishes to you all as you welcome Rose into your lives. She is a blessed little girl to be born into such a loving family that will take very good care of her always.
Mary
