Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
Who's the fairest of them all? That would be Emma Kate! She just got this adorable Snow White costume in the mail from her Aunt Caroline. Can't you tell she loves it?

3 weeks old
We have been enjoying our newest addition to the Booth household. He is now 3 weeks old and getting plumper by the day!
Emma Kate shows her love to her little brother both outwardly and inwardly. It makes me feel so encouraged and rewarded to see how sweet she is to him. I think children usually show others the love (or lack of love) that they have been shown by their parents or others around them. As a parent, it's so easy to second-guess yourself and wonder, "Am I doing this right?" Sometimes it seems like I am doing everything I can to make her happy, but as human nature and "terrible two's" would dictate, it just doesn't seem like it's enough on my part. Sometimes I feel like I have not been as patient as I needed to be with her 2 year old "antics".
With all that said, when I see the way she approaches her baby brother to give him kisses and hear her (over the monitor) reassuring him, I feel like Jim and I have done something right as parents! Of course, we have tried our best, but we are far from perfect. I pray that we will always continue show our children a loving foundation, a loving home and that they will in turn show their love to others. I feel like that is what God calls us to do, but naturally we fail sometimes (or most of the time).
Here are some of my favorites of the most recent pictures:

Easter eggs and Emma Kate
Yesterday was a gorgeous day in Tulsa. The four of us headed to Woodward Park where all was in bloom to take Emma Kate's Easter pictures. We also hid a few eggs for Emma Kate to find. She LOVED "playing hide and seek with the eggs". So we re-hid them and she rediscovered them several times. Baby Jim snoozed in his stroller while all the excitement was happening. Here are a few pics from our day...
Baby Jim is here just in time for Easter!
James Edward Booth III came two weeks earlier than expected! He was 6 pounds, 12 ounces and born on Sunday, March 28, 2010 @ 10:25 am. I have loved every minute, Emma Kate overflows with love for her "boy", and Jim loves having a little buddy around. I think he is the most beautiful baby boy ever! We are so thankful for our newest little blessing...
