Ellie Jane Arrives!!

This past Monday morning Samantha and I started out from Kingston, TN getting up around 4:30am and then hit the road as soon as we could to meet our new neice!! We are so thankful that Ellie Jane was born so strong and healthy! She is a beautiful baby and her family was so excited! Ryan and Bryan are both doing great and Mary Paul is getting to know her baby sister! We had a wonderful, although fast, visit and can't wait to see them all again!!

All the family in the waiting room awaiting the arrival of Ellie Jane!




Our first time to meet Ellie Jane was through the nursery glass!! A proud father was with her the entire time! We were so excited to see her light colored hair and purple feet and hands :) Landon kept asking why she was naked! :)

ELLIE JANE March 9, 2009 8lbs 12oz and 20 inches long




After lunch and once Ryan was able to go to a regular room we were able to go and see her and Ellie Jane up close and personal. It is amazing how many people and cameras you can fit into one hospital room! Landon and Addi just found their own little corner to play in!


The proud new father!!


I thought these next few pictures were so funny! This is the first time that Bryan had held both Mary Paul and Ellie Jane at the same time. I love Mary Paul's facial expressions as she is trying to decide what she thinks and how to act around her new little baby sister. Soooooo precious!!!





A proud Aunt Samantha with her new niece!!


Ellie Jane always looked like she wanted to suck her thumb. Her hands were always up around her face and mouth as you can see in the next picture with Aunt Samantha!! Maybe she'll be a thumb sucker like Landon and Addi? So cute!



Trying to get a full body shot while she was laying on her mama's bed. She also did not like it when she came out of her blanket. She liked being swaddled! Can't wait to see her again!!
