Leisel Joy has arrived!

Leisel Joy arrived on Friday February 27th! She weighed in at 8 lbs 13 oz, 18 inches long. She came about 11 days early and she is very sweet...so far. Her brothers are very interested in her. Unfortunately Leisel came right before a "big" snowstorm and everyone was clamoring. I had surgery on Friday and left the hospital on Sunday!!!! I feel it was one day too early, but the snow came that night and who knows what kind of care I would've recieved once the snow came. The whole state shut down and the boys have not gone to pre-school for about a week....not a good combination.


The newborn picture machine was broken, so we just made our own.
hmmmm....did God put me in the right family?
Caleb loves his little sister...Can't believe he is as old as he is. It's getting harder to remember when he was a baby. It sort of gets covered up by the following births.
Toby loves his little Leisel too.
Memaw is happy to see her...

My 3 beautiful babies...okay can't spend much on this photo...It makes me cry.
k




Joe looks pretty comfortable holding her. Beth and Joe watched thee boys for us for 3 days...I'm sure children will be postponed for awhile after this experience...


another photo that makes me cry...moving right along....I really wish Ken would've done this blog entry...
coming home...I didn't really prepare for the weather. I only brought a light blanket to cover her and it was very cold...I guess you can tell it's my 3rd one.
Leisel had her first sponge bath. She doesn't like getting her diaper changed...She cries rather hard. I'm of course used to summer babies and not used to the colder air.
good use to 4 inches of snow. We still have the snowman even though the snow has melted.
