She's Here


My heart is so full.
She's here!!!
We are pleased to introduce our newest addition, Sophia Grace. We were beginning to wonder if she was ever going to make it, but she arrived at the perfect time. I woke up on Sunday morning at about 5:30 and felt my first contractions. I told Gary that we needed to get our things together because I felt like the baby was going to be here soon--so off to Springfield we went. We were admitted to Labor and Delivery at noon and by 2:15pm she had arrived.
She weighed 7 pounds/2 ounces and measured 20 inches long.
Maura thinks she is pretty special.



She loves to kiss her on the forehead and share the cherished Mickey Mouse with her little sister. It is so sweet.

Grown men with their girls--you just can't beat it.


This is just a brief glimpse with more pics to soon follow. We'd like to thank all of your for your thoughts and prayers, phone calls, and for those of you who came by the hospital.
We feel so blessed at this time in our lives and give thanks to the Lord above.
