Baby pictures!!

Tired new mommy AA with Avery two hours after delivery.

AA had a long, long day of labor before Avery decided to be born last night at 6:28. Avery weighed 7 lb. 11 oz at birth. She has lots of black hair!

Avery, today--about 16 hours old

I am overwhelmed with love for baby Avery Elizabeth and her parents, who are warmly and lovingly caring for her.

Avery, AA and son DC

This is the last time I saw them today; it was hard to leave them all and return home to Corpus Christi. AA's parents, brother, and grandmother are staying with the newly enlarged family for Thanksgiving. Although we were invited, it seems best for their gathering to remain thus, better for the new mother and baby. We'll have a nice and quiet Thanksgiving in Corpus Christi with our two youngest children, BJ and MJ.
