We welcomed baby girl #2, Norah Hope Jackson, into our family, Monday, June 25th at 2:01pm.  She was 7lbs 6 oz and 20 in long.  We are in love with her.  Big sister, Ella loves her little sister and is adjusting more quickly than we expected to sharing momma.  Enjoy some photos from a photo session with Ella (2 years) and Norah (5 days old).

These are followed by several fun pics from Ella's 2 year photo session a few months prior.
