Lily's Birthday

October 17, 2008
We woke up early and got one more photo of Lily in my belly. We arrived at the hospital at 6:30 am to have a c-section. I was completely nervous and still disappointed that I wasn't able to have a vaginal delivery. Oh my goodness...would my thinking change on that when we discovered that she weighed 10 lbs. 2 oz.!!!
These are photos of the happiest day of our life. We have to be the proudest parents in the world.

I am the proudest Dad and granddad in the world. Lily is a gift from God. I am so proud that Joe and Keri are parents of a beautiful baby girl. I have pictures all over my office and everyone says Lily is the most beautiful baby they have ever seen. I will start today encouraging them to move closer to me. LOL Dad
