When we took the kids to the hospital to meet their new sister they were so excited. When we drove up to the LDS hospital we were on the Emergency Room side and Luke said, it's okay I may need the Emergency room I am so excited to see my new sister. When he finally got to hold her the grin on his face was literally ear to ear and he was just so thrilled to hold her and talk to her. It was very sweet to see.
Katie & Sara are so happy to have a sister. EmmaLee has to set a timer so they each get equal time holding her.
In the hospital it was kind of hard to wait my turn. I wanted to just hold her and tell her I loved her, to feel her spirit. I was patient and did get to hold Viviane while Scott showed the kids a little video of how hard she cried just after she was born. But as I looked into her alert, bright eyes I had sweet memories came to me of each of our 13 grandchildren. The longer I thought about it I could recall something about each one as they came into our family. We love our family so much. We are looking forward to watching Viviane grow and hope she feels how much she is loved.
