Hi.

"From the first time a father reaches to take his daughter's infant hand, she reaches up and takes his heart. She never returns it. He is her protector, her provider. Her knight. Her hero. In turn she is his lamb. His angel on loan. His beauty of beauties."

--Max Lucado, And the Angels Were Silent

Happy Father's Day!

Hi.

Grandma's here!

Hmmm. I wonder when we can play?

Too cute.

Angels on Earth.

Dad and Madelyn.

My new little sister is here! Madelyn Belle, born June 10th @ 10:37pm EST; 6lbs 11ozs; 19 3/4 in long; and she has a strong set of lungs! Doctors ordered up a cesarean because the cord was wrapped around the neck a bit. But Mom and sister Madelyn are doing great! Meow for now.

Before Cesarean.

Madelyn's here!

Do I look too chubby from this angle?

Okay. Where's Mom!?

Whew. What a day. Zzzzzzzz.

There she is.

Thanks Mom--for everything!

High Five Dad.

Mom and Madelyn.

The Hydrangea shrub is showing off its seven and eight inch sky hue blooms--a sure sign that summer is well under way.

Mommy's final picture post before my sister gets here on Friday or Saturday!

Backyard babies--Quints!

Happy 3rd Anniversary J & K!!!!

Countdown for Baby sister reduced to June 10th (or 11th)! Just what the "doctor ordered" : )
