The newest Wacker

Thank you for all of the well wishes through the past nine months, we really appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers!

Nine months comes really fast once you start counting down. It really feels like yesterday when Leslie and I were letting everyone know that we were expecting, now we have our little girl with us! We checked into Palmetto Baptist Friday January 30th at 6:00 am and at 4:51 pm we were proud parents of Ava Patricia. She came in at a very health 7 pounds and 15 ounces, 20 and 3/4 inches tall.

I guess being a techno geek has its advantages as well as its disadvantages at times. I am typing up this blog on the hospitals WIFI but I can not send out pictures because of their size. Rather than clogging email servers across the east coast and the Midwest I will be putting up our pictures on this blog spot for the next couple of days. I hope you all enjoy as much as we are..... take care and we shall speak (and see) everyone very soon!

This was taken at about 5:20 am Friday morning, I had to get one last belly shot of mom before we headed out the door.
This is the very first picture of Ava on this earth..... she looks a little unhappy and maybe even a little cold.
The three of us!
The new Mom with the new baby.... Leslie was beat at this point but putting our little girl in her arms made her beam!
....and here she is, little Ava Patricia
