Meet Ms. Pearl Liliana McGrath







(Mia in Pink + Pearl in Yellow)

We are so happy to add Pearl to our family. She is healthy and happy and couldn't ask for a better big sister. Dennis and I are amazed at how much she resembles Mia. Mia is a bit confused. Every time we say Pearl, she says "No!" Pearl is over seven pounds and very animated already. We hope to have her home in May or June.

Things have been moving so fast for us. Let's see--we've had a baby, bought a house, sold a house all in less than a month. For as crazy as it has been, it really did all fall into place. Dennis starts his new job on the 13th of November and I'll just transfer my current position after a week or two of getting settled. Our new house is in the historic district of St.Louis. It is a very large old home that needs a ton of work. I think it is a project and Dennis thinks it is an architectural gem in the rough. It is just what we were looking for (we think-check back with us in a month or two) I'll post updated pictures of Pearl when we get them.
