Thanks.

First Visit to Great Gram's

What a nice couple of hours!  This was Izzie's first visit to my house, and the first time I've seen her since she came home from the hospital.  She came for lunch with her mom and grandma.

Izzie had a bottle.  We had salads and smoothies from Robek's.  Perfect for another hot summer day.

Izzie has on the little summer dress that I bought for the first shower...it says Daddy's Little Princess on it.  Might be the first and only time she wears it (newborn size) because only the center snap on the bottom would snap.  Long torso, I guess.

Here is a photo I took this afternoon.  So sweet.

Home sweet home.

Be well, little family.

Aunt Lindsey

This photo was taken yesterday of Izzie meeting her Aunt Lindsey.

Settling In

Hi, Mommy!

Time to eat!

Hi, Great Gram!

I'm still a little punchy after last night!

Here are some photos I took this afternoon of Izzie at 21 hours old.  This followed a long labor and a couple of medical issues.  Izzie is currently confined to the hospital nursery.  I hope her issues will be resolved in a day or so and that she will be given the AOK to go home with mom and dad.

And there is no doubt now...she really does look like mom when she was born!

Hopes and prayers for a clean bill of health for this precious little one.

A New Life Has Begun

My great-granddaughter, Elizabeth Anne, has been born.  Today is the start of her life in the outside world. 
I am so happy for Kyle and Kenny.  And for the new grandmas and grandpas...first time for most.  And for the great-grandparents.  And for Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Cody.  Boy, that sounds funny!

I was in Medina when you were born.  On the way home I remember looking at the sky, because I wanted to remember how it looked on the night you were born, Izzie.  There were some clouds, but also some stars, and half of a yellow moon.  Today was a hot day...one of many that we have had recently.  They are predicting that Friday might be the hottest day of the year so far.  You will probably be at home with your mom and dad by then.

You are a big girl...9 pounds, 7 ounces, and 21 inches long.  Your mom is pretty tall and your dad is very tall.  Everybody who has seen your picture so far thinks you look like your mom.  I can hardly wait until tomorrow to see for myself.

Sleep well mom, dad, and baby Izzie.  You have had a busy 24 hours.  Good night...

Tuesday's child is full of grace...
