Allie's Blessing November 1st

Allie is such a sweet peaceful baby.

On November 1st she was blessed and we were surrounded by family and friends. Thanks to everyone who came and made it a special day for us.

Pictures of Allie

Yeah! She is finally here... and now a week old already. How did that happen?

Allie Elizabeth Draper Born 9/25/2009. She was 7lb 11oz and 18 inches long.

Allie is such a sweet baby. So far she has the best temperament.

Here are my older kids waiting for baby Allie to come home. My mom was with them and took pictures of them getting the house clean for us to come home. I thought they were so cute I had to share them.

Ema is such a good helper and a really good cleaner. Way to go Ema!

He is on his step stool cleaning the counter top too cute!


John loves to vacuum.


Ema sweeping

We have a date...

If my baby doesn't come before Friday Sept. 25th I will be induced on that day. I am 37 weeks but I am measuring in at 41 weeks. So she could be a big baby!
