Happy Easter

Grandpa Harschel got to meet Anna this weekend! He and Miss Colene had a nice Easter basket for her with bunnies and duckies. It was very cute!

She also got to meet Mamaw (her great-grandmother) this weekend, too. Jacob and Samantha escorted her to the farm and showed her the ropes for her first visit.

We also visited Pat & Lisa, Aunt Sue, and Renee'. Roxana came by for a visit on Friday. On Sunday, we went to church with Mimi and Grandaddy, so everyone there got to see her, too.

It was a very nice weekend and enjoyed getting to see everyone. Anna slept the whole way to Paducah and back! What a good little traveler.

Tummy Time is FUN

Here's Anna getting some tummy time. She does seem to enjoy it. Willie and I try to put her on the boppy at least once a day. She has also decided she likes her swing, too. Falls right to sleep! She and I have lots of fun together during the days. Daddy has his turn after work, as he and Anna play together at night. She is really a joy.

Three's Good

We had some company this weekend--cousins Jacob and Samantha came for a quick visit. Jacob was very excited to see Baby Anna! He's been waiting almost as long as I did for her to get here. Samantha wasn't sure about that baby everyone kept looking at and her Mommy kept holding. Mimi and Grandaddy had all three grandkids in one place at one time.

Anna and I will be on our own tomorrow. Hopefully, Daddy won't have to come rescue me during the day. I'm sure we'll be OK.

We will be going to Paducah on Friday to see Grandpa Harchel and Miss Colene. They will certainly fall in love with Anna, too.

Let's go PENS!

Here is a picture of the family watching hockey on Sunday.

Anna Catherine Thomassee

OK, so it took me a day or so, but I am pleased to introduce our daughter, Anna Catherine Thomassee. She was born on Thursday, February 28 at 8:21am. She weighed 9 pounds and 4 ounces and measured 21 1/2 inches long.

Anna has beautiful dark hair and blue eyes (right now, anyway). Willie and I think she is absolutely perfect, not to mention beautiful. We have been truly blessed by this wonderful little girl.

We went to the doctor today. Anna's weight is now 8 pounds 11 ounces. She had gotten down to 8 pounds 5 ounces on Sunday, but has gained very well since then.

Here are some early photos of Anna from the hospital and then at home. I am also adding the link for the hospital pictures.
