Luci meets Ila and Will

John and Kim loaded up their kiddos and came to Holland to meet Luciana today. We had a great afternoon hanging out and watching Ila and Will play (and Luci sleep). Thanks for making the trip...always fun to catch up!

Kim and I with our girls.
















Ila loved loving on Luci...so sweet!




















Peyton loved loving on Ila :)

Liam and Thijs have loved coming over to get to know their cousin who they like to call "Daisy" and "Snot Rod". Luci is lucky to have you boys in town....I know you will teach her all sorts of things :)















Look who found her thumb!















We had our first outing last week when we visited my good friend and co-worker Anne. I have absolutely LOVED working with Anne the past two years. She was a ray of sunshine when we were going through our fertility treatments...always encouraging and always praying for us. She is a blessing in the classroom as she is a "mom" to our students who desperately need one. I am so thankful that God placed her in my life. I was so happy that she could spend some cuddle time with the little girl she has been praying so long for. Anne has been fighting cancer for over a year and is now at home spending lots of quality time with her husband, daughter and son. Please keep Anne and her family in your thoughts and prayers.















Luci had a great 2 week appointment. We scheduled her EKG for March but Dr. Shook said there is no reason to believe there are any concerns with her heart. She looks great and is growing way too fast if you ask me :)






















Luci's first time visiting papa at work.






















Peyton would not leave the nursery door when I laid her down for a nap...he loves his sissy!
















2 weeks old! (2.22.11)

20 inches long

Grandma thought it was necessary that Luciana have a mobile :)

Thank you Grandma!

Life has been so good since we have been home! We are soaking up every second with our girl. She is such a sweet baby and has a very lovable little personality. I am loving life at home with Miss Luci. We enjoy our days together and are excited for dad to come home each night.

Here are some pictures from our time at home....

On our way home from the hospital.

On our way to Luciana's first doctors appointment (2.12.11).























When we came home from the hospital on 2.10.11 Luci weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces. At her appointment on 2.12.11 Luci weighed 7 pounds 1/2 ounces and was 19 inches long. Our LuLu can eat (and had quite the cone head at birth when she measured 21 inches)!
