And by popular demand (and I do mean popular, and I do mean demand), here are some of the first photos from the hospital, and a few at home. Finally! My apologizes for the delay. Kate and I have officially discovered the baby time vortex. As far as I’m concerned, it’s yesterday right now and tomorrow is coming today.
This is just a photo post, but here’s a quick status update: baby is healthy and awesome. Parents are coasting on sleep dep. and joy. More photos to come in a few days. Thank you so much to everyone for well wishes. Kate and I feel humbled by the show of love and support.
Great photos! I love all her different expressions!
awesome pictures, thanks for taking the time to share – she is beautiful !
What a beautiful little girl and happy Mom and Dad and such a supportive family! WOW!
Sooo sweet, I’m too far away.
She is absolutely beautiful! Kate, I love the look of pure joy in your eyes! 🙂
Wow… prayers of thanksgiving are certainly headed upward. I can’t stop smiling for you. 🙂
She is so beautiful! I’m so happy for ya’ll!
oh my gosh. oh my gosh; she’s arrived!!!
Many blessings to your family.

Oh my!! She’s precious! CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve spoke of adopting I think ever since you moved in next door. As Joel and you said, now you HAVE to finish the garage office. No excuses.
Welcome to the parenthood. My best advice – Don’t take advice from those who do not have children. What the heck do they know anyway. Let your instincts prevail.
Again CONGRATULATIONS!
she is stunning, soaking in all the love
pure joy to be sure
What a cute smile! She is really beautiful!!
Congratulations! She is beautiful. We shared your good news with all the kids and they were thrilled for you. Wish we could be there in person but we have really enjoyed the pictures.
Hello!
I’ve been following your blog for a while now, and although I don’t know you in real life, its so encouraging to see things finally work out! I hope that you guys continue to blog about how things are playing out and how the little one is doing. Best of luck!

Paul told me today that you have been blessed with your little girl ” Holly “. I am very excited for you both and know that you will make wonderful parents and her life will be full of love and laughter. Enjoy every moment of it as it is all gone too quickly. Once again congratulations and I can’t wait to meet your new addition the next time I come to America.
