Jonah!

My nephew Jonah arrived on Thursday November 15th!

Here I am with Aliyah waiting for Jonah to be born. Keeping a 2 1/2 year old occupied in a waiting room is an adventure!

Jonah Malcolm Herman 
8lb 3oz & 21" tall

Here he is meeting his new quilt.

Family meeting Jonah for the first time.

The first photo I took of Jonah

 Then one at a time we got to go spend some time with Jonah & Karin.

Since I lived on the east coast when Aliyah and Elijah were both born I wasn't at the hospital when they were born. It was an amazing feeling to be able to hold Jonah just hours after he was born. It was instant love.

Karin started working for me a couple of months ago. Even though I told her she could have the day off she was asking me about a few "work" things and we had a good laugh. It has been great having help with Jaybird Quilts and spending more time with Karin.

Later in the day my dad went to pick up Elijah from Kindergarten. Here he is meeting Jonah for the first time.

Here are all the kids together with my brother! It is amazing how big Aliyah and Elijah are now compared to Jonah.

Here is Jonah at 3 days old. Elijah told me that I made Jonah a nice quilt. I love these kids!!

I didn't get a chance to take many photos of Jonah's quilt before giving it to him. So my brother took a bunch of great photos for me. 

Apparently Aliyah wanted to join in on the photo shoot!


Everyone is doing well & enjoying this new addition to our family!

Congratulations!!! How totally awesome you were there for the first moments of this precious one's entrance into the world. The quilt is perfect for a baby boy.
I just got your book this past Friday. It is wonderful. While picking up your book I also simply had to purchase fabric to make up one of your quilts in the book for a little one (neice or nephew) due in June in our family.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie

Wait 'til you have your own. Talk about love. It is unspeakable, and completely different than anything you've ever experienced.

Congratulations Aunt Julie!
