Our newest addition!










Well our bundle of Joy finally arrived! Elle Ryann was born on October 14th at 4:23 pm. She was 20 1/2 inches and 8 lbs 1 oz! She is the most precious little girl we could have ever hoped for! Everyone is doing wonderful and trying to catch up on some beauty sleep!






Here is her story...

Well our little girl didn't want to come quite yet. She was very cozy is mom's belly, but we were all overly ready for you to get here. After three days of being monitored at the hospital for you not moving enough, I told the doctor I was ready and I was going to be induced later that day! I was so excited Elle, I think this was the most exciting news I had ever heard! I was finally going to meet you! I went into the hospital at 4:30 pm and was induced, 15 hours of labor later I was still at 3 cm dialated.. not enough for you to get here! I opted for an epidural and that was the best decision of the day! Within 20 minutes my water had broke, and I was at a 9 and ready to push. I pushed for about 1 hour and at 4:23 pm you were here and PERFECT. Dr Harrison threw you immediately up on my chest and you took your first breath and didn't evern cry. You looked right into my eyes and knew who I was and I was so smitten and knew my life would never be the same, it was always going to be better with you. Daddy, held back tears and we are just so excited you are going to be part of our family, we love you so much Elle Ryann!

Moose in my parents yard!



These were our furry friends the other night! They came right up to my parents house and the babies were playing with Lola. She was pretty smart though, she wouldn't get too close!
