The Grandparents share a moment together with Isabelle

On Thursday night, all four grandparents were over for dinner at our house.  Thanks to the Adams for bringing dinner and Uncle Lonnie for manning the grill.

"Uncle" Shawn meets Isabelle

After returning from a week-long trip to Honduras to help those in need, "Uncle" Shawn came over to meet Isabelle.  Shawn wasn't exactly sure what to do with Isabelle, but he figured it out...

Isabelle goes for her first walk


Wednesday was such a nice day, dad and Pop-Pop V took Isabelle for her first walk.  To make sure the other family member remains a happy camper, they also picked up some ice cream for Duncan.

Uncle Lonnie and Jill stop by


Uncle Lonnie and Jill stopped by so that Jill could meet Isabelle.

Grandma and Pop-Pop V make their way to VA


Grandma and Pop-Pop V arrived from Vineland at 4:00.  It's safe to say they were excited to finally meet their first grandchild.

Isabelle comes home


After seeing the OB and pediatrician, Isabelle was cleared to go home.  So, we loaded up our stuff and headed home...

Aunt Anne-Marie returns from Boston to meet Isabelle


After running a 3:43.5 in the 2008 Boston marathon, Aunt Anne-Marie quickly boarded a flight home so she could meet her niece.  She made it!  (oh, and nice tan)

Aunt Kate, Liz, Dudley and Katie stop by for visits




Monday was a pretty boring day at the hospital for mom and dad.  Thankfully, family members and friends stopped by to help pass the time.  Thanks to Aunt Kate and Grams and Big Daddy for providing lunch and dinner, respectively (not that there's anything wrong with hospital food...)

Grams, Big Daddy, and Uncle Lonnie stop by for a quick visit



Mary-Frances' mom, dad, and brother stopped by to meet Isabelle just hours after she was born.  It's safe to say they were excited to meet their first grandchild (and she them).  Aunt Kate was working at the hospital that night and she also stopped in for a quick visit.

Isabelle Suzanne arrives!




Isabelle Suzanne was welcomed into our family on Sunday, April 20, 2008 at 5:25 pm.  She weighed 7 pounds, 1 ounce and measured 20 3/4 inches.  Mom and baby are doing well.

The bags are packed...and the Nursery is ready!







Thanks to Aunt Dian and Jennifer, the Nursery is almost complete.  The only thing left to add is the special someone who gets to sleep in it.
