Madeline Kay is here!


Little Madeline Kay, weighing 7lbs 1oz, arrived at 11:22 AM on Thursday May 10th, 2007. She is 20 inches long and has strawberry-blonde peach fuzz on the top of her head. Dad stepped-in and cut the ambilical cord with a fierce look in his eye, which was a strategy to counter his internal desires to faint. Mom looked stunning all the while and fooled many who asked with a puzzled look on their face, "did you just have a baby?". Hannah, unaware of the new baby in the family, wanted mom's crackers and juice that sat on the hospital tray. All-in-all, it was a wonderful experience and the entire family is excited about the newest addition.

Madeline is now safe at home and enjoying life in Orlando and hand-me-downs from her older sister Hannah.

Hannah cannot believe her eyes! "Baby!"


Home at last!

Hannah holding baby Madeline for the first time and thinking it to be pretty cool. What a good big sister.

Callie,
Rodney was here for dinner last night, and told us about his new little neice, and we just had to see her! It has been so fun having Rodney & Jensen over. We are headed back east in a few weeks, it will be great to see the Pratt's and many of our other friends. Rodney gets to watch our dog while we are away. He is so great!
Hope all continues to go well!
Love, The Pélissié's
