We knew that this weekend had potential to be an emotional and memorable one, but NO ONE could have predicted the intensity of feelings that would accompany such a short window of time!
Saturday afternoon was begun with the SHOCKING news that Heidi and Dave's baby girl was on her way--6 weeks plus early! Fast-forward to 2:56 p.m. and baby Lilah Diane Estrada was welcomed into the world. Weighing in at 5 lbs 11 oz. she was born with the traditional Farber hair-DARK AND LOTS OF IT! She is a DOLL! We can't wait for Heidi and Dave to be able to bring her home in a few weeks and for the girls to see her up close!
Saturday afternoon we also welcomed one of our oldest relatives into MA, Great-grandma Ann Ritt, previously of Florida. Great-grandma Ann celebrated her 92nd birthday earlier this year and we were/are all elated to be able to have her meet Maya for the first time today and spend some time with Jenna as well. Great-grandma Ann was thoroughly impressed with Jenna's politeness and her ever-growing language (as are we!) Emmy and Sabba, always a hit, were there as well and the girls had so much fun seeing them!
To tip the scales with excitement, Maya decided that today, at Great-grandma Ann's new home, she was going to... ROLL OVER! Yes, for the first (and second) time she rolled to the left from her back and onto her belly!
It was a fantastic weekend filled with wonderfully happy events and welcoming new and "more experienced" members of the family.
Great photos! I especially love the ones of Jenna and Maya with Great Grandma Ann. They will certainly be memorable reminders of a special day.
