She's here. Part II.

July 30, 2009 started off with us checking into the hospital at seven that morning to have our baby!
I was excited if you couldn't tell.


After all the fun of nine hours of labor, here is Greg holding Lydia for the first time.

Her first diaper change.



Our little family.



Madre flew in from Utah just a couple of hours before Lydia made her big entrance.


Toasting ourselves on a job well done in labor and delivery!


Of course there is plenty of more to come!
