We joyfully announce the arrival of our Sweet Baby Girl!

On Thursday June 18th, 2009 @ 7:16pm.... Baby GIRL finally arrived into the world. We have not much time for details now but wanted to share some pictures of our beloved daughter and the birth process with our family and friends. She weighed in at an even 8lbs and is 20 inches long.

She was born at an old historic home/birthing center near Washington DC and delivered by a midwife. She was born peacefully into a tub of water and was welcomed into the world surrounded by her loving family. As many of you know, we work on a delayed naming schedule... so no name has been chosen... but you'll be the first to know once we take the plunge.

Thank you for sharing these special memories with us!

Visiting the Flowers...

The Family took a quick trip down the road to our favorite flower and meadow fields. There is an elderly woman who never "sold out" her lovely farmhouse and land to developers... She has gorgeous flower fields that bloom every spring and she allows visitors to stop and take pictures... The land is always filled with artists and flower lovers galore. We've been visiting for years... and it's always a hallmark of Spring/Summer in our area when we see the Irises and Peonies in her garden in full bloom. Oh, how we love this little spot... "a little slice of heaven" in the big Metropolis of ours... I'm very pregnant and am now inspired by the name "Meadow" if it's a girl... I guess better than the name "Cookie or Pizza Pie"...
