The other day, we set off with great anticipation to see the new delicious addition to the Rutherford family. Raven is a little earth mother and so relaxed with her growing brood.

Harper is such an alert little girl. She gazed at me with very knowing eyes, and wanted to see everything I was doing. She narrowed her gaze at me as I rocked her slowly. There was no gentle lulling to sleep for this little one. Several feeds later, Little Miss Harper still wasn’t having a bar of falling to sleep and letting me contort her cute little body into the obligatory newborn poses.

As it turned out, she granted us about 4 minutes of shut-eye. We sprang into action. All the other precious rosy-cheeked Rutherford sisters gathered around for a couple of pictures. Raven popped into the frame as well. Daniel unfortunately could not be coaxed into a photo. :)
