Charissa's week old picture

My mom came to visit on the 16th and dad came on the 19th. We enjoyed having them here and they enjoyed 

their new first grand baby. 

Tim's family came on the 21st for Mother's family Thanksgiving/Christmas in Columbia, MO and they stopped by Joplin for a couple of days. They (Aunt Emily in particular:) took lots of pictures of Charissa. This is one of them.

Charissa Joy

 Our baby Charissa Joy was born on November 12, 2011. She weighed 7lbs. 9oz. and was 21 in. long. She was almost born on 11-11-11 but she held out until just after midnight so she didn't get to have a cool birthday.  She was born safely at home assisted by a wonderful midwife named Judith and her daughter Sha.    We are thankful for her safe arrival and that she is healthy.

Excuse the blurriness! These are cell phone pictures.

One of her first pictures. She was screaming:)

Pre-Baby Pictures

Well it's about Time I got our blog updated with all our happenings in the last three months.These are pictures from the Sunday (November 6, 2011) before our baby was born. I didn't have any nice maternity pictures so we decided to go to the park to take some.
