The First Weeks With Miss Haley

It has been crazy with a new little one in our lives! Haley is now 3 1/2 weeks old. She is probably about 7 lbs now. She is (mostly!) a happy sweet girl that LOVES to snuggle. But let us back up a little and update everyone on what we have been up to...

Before Haley came to visit us, we went to Jackson Hole for the afternoon. We walked around and took in the sights. Laura had never been there before and she thought it was pretty cool. We got our traditional deck of cards to commemorate the occasion. Look at Laura's belly!

Then it was time to go to the Bar-J Wranglers. It was awesome. They are a singing cowboy group. They do a show while everyone eats BBQ beef, chicken or steak on tin plates and lemonade in tin cups. Huge meal with the baked beans and everything. It was awesome. Afterward, we bought another deck of cards and had all of the members of the group sign the joker of the deck. So fun!

Then it was time to be induced. This is a picture we took the night before Haley was born. Laura's labor was 5 hours and 45 minutes from start to finish. Laura thanks God everyday for bring epidurals into this world. Once again we have proof that he is the supreme creator! You have seen some of the pictures of Haley and the family on the previous blog posts.
Laura's mom came to help us take care of baby Haley. We got to go out to lunch. Danielle came too. We really appreciate her driving all the way up to Idaho and spending a week away from home to help us out. She is awesome.

So here are some funny pictures we took... Here is Haley sleeping on Laura's belly.

This is a view of her sleeping with Laura in the view.

Here is what Laura looked like pregnant! We love that Haley's bum and little feet are sticking out the bottom!

Rufus is adjusting for the most part. He has a hard time not giving Haley all the love she deserves all of the time. He is always trying to lick her hands and the bottom of her little feet! His favorite thing to do now is sleep under her bassinet.

Haley's favorite thing to do is snuggle with her Daddy... and he loves it too!

Well, we should go take care of our little princess. We will leave you with one more picture. This is one of our most favorite faces Miss Haley makes.

We love you all and are so grateful for your support, love and friendship! Please come visit us when Haley is blessed on Sunday, September 21st at 10:50am. Let us know if you would like to come! Love you all!
