Before

This is the last picture taken of "Belle." Alasdair's family has a tradition of picking obscure Old Testament names to call babies in-utero. Ours was Zerubabel (I'll have to ask Alasdair who that is again!), and once we found out she was a girl, it became "Belle". It was a fun way for the baby to have an identity while keeping her name top secret. I can't believe we made it all the way through the pregnancy without slipping! This picture is taken at a graduation celebration for all (11!) people from our church who graduated from Westminster Seminary this spring, including Alasdair and his mom, Libbie. I was 39 weeks pregnant. Baby Belle graciously waited to make her appearance until Daddy & Granny Groves finished finals and graduation, Auntie Eowyn graduated from high school, and Uncle Alden turned 16. (We'd been hoping for birthday buddies, but that was not to be.)
