Sweet Emily Ann Harris - October 29th, 2008



Our daughter Emily arrived at Baylor Hospital -Grapevine- at 4:29 a.m. on October 29th, 2008.

She arrived 12 days early and very healthy at 7 lbs 15 oz. - and was 19 3/4 " long. Labor was (I say this now...) short and uncomplicated at 4 1/2 hours.... both mommy and baby were doing so well, we left the hospital after one night : )

Emily had lots and lots of visitors throughout her first day.....PawPaw was her very first visitor at 7 a.m. - he and Memah came back later that evening as well - and Auntie Maria and Uncle Tracy stopped in around lunchtime.... Chasey's best buddy Wyatt and his parents, Christi and Scott Heal (our dear friends) kept Chasey for us throughout the ordeal which began at at midnight on the 29th and Christi actually made it to the hospital before lunchtime to meet Emily in person, .....Uncle Jeff, Auntie Robyn, Matt, Kylie, Robyn's mom Christi and a couple of friends all piled in for a visit later that evening......

Chasey got to the hospital around 10 am.- he is in love with his new sister....constantly kissing and hugging her and uttering: 'my baby sister'- he really seems to be enjoying this new 'big brother' title of his.

Just the promise of her kept us going for the past 9 months....But we fell in love with her the very moment we saw her. We are so excited to bring her home and begin this next stage in our life together.

State Fair of Texas




Hit the State Fair of Texas this week....the weather has been great, and since we still have a few more weeks until baby girl arrives, we thought we would head on out and have some fun. Rode the sky gondola, walked thru several of the exhibits, saw the dog show, the bird show, the car show (of course!) the African acrobats and ate some of the yummy state fair food....Whew... what a day.


Chasey and the 'Tractor'

We've had some improvements done to our street and sidewalk.....the 'tractor' has provided non-stop entertainment for both Chasey and daddy over this past week.....
