In Spanish this phrase literally means "pure life" but is more commonly thought of as meaning "full of life." Costa Ricans use this phrase to express a philosophy of strong community, perseverance, resilience in overcoming difficulties with good spirits, enjoying life slowly, and celebrating good fortune of magnitudes small and large alike. This blog is about our life... Pura Vida!

She's here!

The majority of you guessed it right! It was a girl!
 
Miss Natalie Marie
 
was born on Tuesday, April 23rd at 9:44pm.
 (after almost not making it to the hospital in time!)
 
She entered the world weighing 6lbs and 10oz and was 19 1/4 inches long.
 
She is just perfect!
 
 
And her big sisters couldn't be happier to have a healthy little sister at home. They are big helpers, and don't want to take their hands off her! :)
 

She has been sleeping the majority of time, but is usually awake for a few hours during the day so the girls can see her with her eyes open. They seem to think she needs to be awake all the time to play! That will happen soon enough. For now, we are very thankful that she is a happy, healthy baby that eats and sleeps like babies should!
 
 
Welcome to the family Natalie!
