Introducing...

...our daughter!

Lilly Elizabeth
was born on Friday, June 24th, 2011
At 9:16am
Weighing 6 pounds and measuring 18 1/2 inches long.

She is very healthy, and a beautiful and content little girl!

So far Adrian enjoys being a big brother (or at least enjoys looking at and trying to play with the new little thing in the basket). He's doing well, and we pray the transition continues to be all right for him.

Her Mom and Dad are doing well too. I had no idea it took so few seconds for my husband to fall in love with another woman, but boy has he! :)

Me too.

Thank you everyone for your prayers, visits, and well-wishes, etc. We can't wait for everyone to meet this little darling, and for her to meet the wonderful family and friends that surround her.

We are blessed beyond belief!!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my Mom's 60th Birthday. We celebrated her six decades of beauty, family and friends with a beautiful celebration. From the nice weather (thanks Great-grandma Katie!), to the costume party fun...

to the memories...

to the 60 candles (the flame version and the musical one)...

it was a terrific day, and Mom was just beaming the whole time! I'm so glad she had a fantastic day - thanks to all who helped make it so. And thank you to Mom for her many wonderful years of giving of herself and sharing her life with so many of us. We are blessed to have her, and wish her an absolutely AMAZING birthday! ...and many more!

Love you Birthday girl!

I've never been pregnant this long before

By this time in our pregnancy with Adrian, we were already packing up to head home from the hospital with our little guy. Please say some prayers that as the time draws near with this new little wonder to arrive things continue to go well, and that I'll be posting in no time with the happy news! Thanks for your prayers and support thus far.
