Welcome Arabelle

As promised, here are pictures of the first couple days of Arabelle's life. She has been such a blessing so far and we are so thankful for her!

Minutes after Arabelle was born

Daddy's 1st time holding her

Getting her bath. She didn't like it; if you couldn't tell!

She calmed down a lot when she got her hair washed

Relaxing after the bath with her baby doll from Grandpa

Family Picture
and yes, Corbin is playing with the booger sucker

Corbin helping Uncle Aaron take pictures

Rocking with Aunt Diana

Uncle Seth and Preston stayed at a distance because they weren't feeling completely healthy
with grammie or "ama" as Corbin likes to say

Tia Steph

Uncle Aaron - we'll get saying 'go Eagles' soon!

Uncle Seth and Aunt Melissa

a very proud Grandpa!

Meeting Pappa - don't worry Pappa, when the time is right Arabelle will love playing dress-up and dolls with you! :)

Nana & Pappa have gotten all the grandchildren so far a lamb that plays "Jesus loves me". Arabelle's was the first one with pink instead of blue! What fun!!!!


Corbin's 1st time holding his sister

Checking out her eyes!


Cousin Kristin

Cousin Joey & Jay hanging out at the hospital - Joey's laugh keep us quite entertained!
Sucking her finger

Daddy's hand shows how little she really is!

What a great daddy
Going home! Yeah!!!!

She didn't like being in the car seat at first, but she warmed up to it pretty quickly

Here we are! It was not very nice weather for her homecoming - Rain!

Chilling at home

There will be more to come soon!

She is absolutely beautiful!!! Her hair makes her look older than she is...I have never seen a baby with such long, blond hair before!! Looking forward to meeting the little one.

could'nt sleep so I thought I'd check out my granddaughter's pictures- i felt pretty sure there would be some here.
I was looking to see if she inherited mommy's or daddy's ears.It looks like she got her ears from daddy-is that right? I forgot to check that out when I saw Arabelle in person. I look forward to holding her again and counting her fingers & toes. Give both of my babies kisses & hugs.
