The Baby is Finally Here!!!

Our precious little Wii is finally here!  After all those long months it finally arrived!!!  What?  



Oh you were expecting something else . . .  





Oh, all right, all right, here's the real prize!  Lyra Phyllis Ivie was born today!!! (Boy, I sure hope I spelled her middle name right!)  She was born at around 3:30 this afternoon and weighed 8 pounds, 2 ounces!  Oh, and she is the prettiest thing you ever did see!!!

I don't think she even realized she was in a room filled with family.  She did have a big day and needed to catch a few winks!

Here's the proud papa!  Looks like she's already a Daddy's girl!

And don't forget about the mama, you know, the one who did all the work?  She's doing great!  Big Brother Amos is also looking pretty content by mom.  I guess he doesn't really know what the next chunk of life holds for him!  Say good-bye to being the baby, say hello to being a big boy!

Tish said she looks a lot like Amos when he was born but who could argue with that? only those Jappies know the truth!

Oh no, it's not over, she was so cute we had to take lots of pictures!

This is the first time June really understood what a new baby was and she was so excited waiting all day!  She even made me give her a bath and doll her up to go to the hospital.  She said Lyra was so beautiful!  Well you can't see Lyra much in this picture but Tish was looking so beautiful, I thought we should include this shot!

And, last but not least, here's Lyra cozying up to Grandmama Patty Cobb!  We're sure you'll agree that she's the prettiest baby in the world!

Mel, I thought you were going to ask if you could hold Lyra! I forgot all about the Wii posting! Sure, you can play the Wii, we're also very excited for your visit! We got some new pillows for your bed! And I think we'll go to Bricktown for dinner because it's so good!

Jess- I am so excited that you found us! It was such a surprise to see a comment from you since I was thinking about people from High School the other day and I thought of you and was wondering what grand adventure you were on. I really never thought that we would talk again. I see that we are alike and have our hands full with 2 little firecrakers. Please, lets keep in touch.
