Sylvia Grace

We are so happy to welcome our little girl, Sylvia Grace! She arrived Friday, September 14, at 6:20 p.m., after just four hours of labor. She was 8 lbs and 10 oz; 21.5 inches long. She's doing very well in her first day and a half, eating and sleeping well and looking pretty darn adorable if we do say so ourselves. 15 minutes after delivery.



After her first bath - note the broad shoulders!







Andy meets his little sister on Saturday morning!

Anxious to hold her...

One of the first things Andy said was "She's SO cute."







Andy was pretty excited when Sylvia reached out and touched his lips with her fingers. He said "she's a tiny little baby." Sylvia also brought Andy a present - a giant CAT excavator toy - that Andy is now bringing with him everywhere he goes.

Melissa and Sylvia

Melissa & Tod's daughter Bryn is 7 weeks older than Andy and we snapped a photo just like the one below when Andy was born. So we had to take a similar photo of Sylvia with their newest daughter Macy, who is just 6 weeks old herself!

With Auntie Jen









Dressed and ready to go home.

Finally home!

Cherise & Shanti - She IS beautiful, Congratulations!

Wow, Cherise, in your picture taken 15 minutes after delivery you look like you'd just had a relaxing mint julep out on the veranda.

We're so happy for you!

Love, Patty & Kevin
