Rylyn arrives at 8:20pm, oddly enough the delivery nurse predicted the arrival time. After an exciting time in the delivery room (3 doctors - and a handful of nurses) we were able to take a quick picture of Dad. We had been in the hospital since 12:45am that morning and hadn't had much sleep the few days before that.... can you tell?


Ella loved Rylyn the first time she saw her "ahhhh she is so cute" were her exact words. She loves to hug, touch and kiss her little sister. Here we are hanging out in the hospital waiting for mom to get the final word to go home. (after 3 days).

Ella making the best of the situation, having a PB & J sandwhich and milk.


Dad and his two girls, waiting for mom to get the go ahead to come home.... finally on Saturday January 10 2009 at 3pm we were allowed to go home as a newly expanded family.


Rylyn all snug as a bug in her carseat and cover. And so begins the start of the hand-me-downs.
