It was a great fathers day!

It is so nice to have such quality photos of Estella. We are very lucky to have such talented friends who think Estella is as cute as we do. There are a selection photos on this most recent blog that display two of my very good friends different styles of photography art. The top half are done by Julie Clark Delmissier at http://www.babydreamseattle.com/ and they are all done in a studio with lots of choices for backgrounds, and props. It was a fantastic experience.

The bottom half of the photos and the photo taken in the last blog post with the American flag and guitar case are done by Amaryllis and are more organic and taken outdoors with my personal belongings. Amaryllis' website is listed below. I highly recommend both of these fine ladies to take photos for any occasion you may need. It was an absolute pleasure to work with both of the fantastic artists.

Hippy chicks!

Ive always had a thing for hippy chicks and Estella Rain has become just that in this righteous photo done by Amaryllis Lockhart yesterday. Estella is 5 days old and was a rockstar on her first photo shoot in the yard. Such a rad photo! We had a lot of fun with the little lady. See more of Amaryllis' images @ www.amaryllisimages.com

More to come soon!

Cheers!

Grandma Nancy:

Uncle Aaron: Spent 50 hours in the waiting room! You can see the exhostion in Rachaels eyes.Impressive mom and uncle!

The beginning... 8am 5/29/10......lets go have a baby!!!!

And then there were three!!!

Our beautiful little girl was born on 5-31-10 and it was no easy feat! Rachael was quite the trooper and I have an entirely new respect for how tough she is. It is a long story but we spent over 48 hours in labor with no sleep and no food. It was an epic journey!!!

She is perfect! Blues eyes, sandy Blonde hair, 10 toes 10 fingers, 2 arms and 2 legs. My favorite feature is her lips. She is feeding well and enjoying every breath of air. We are truly excited to have such a cute and healthy little baby girl.

No name quite yet but we have lots of beautiful names to choose from and we plan on picking one today so keep posted via our blog.

Thanks for all your support! We are very lucky and proud parents!
