Born at home at 2:18 am on Monday, March 21st, the first day of spring! She weighed 8 lbs 5 oz and was 21 inches long. She was born in the caul, or with the amniotic sac intact, which is quite rare and some say is a sign of good luck.
Lily and Daddy, minutes after birth.
First morning!
Joey holds Lily for the first time and gives her a kiss. He kept saying things like "She's so little!", "She's so smooth!", and "She's so nice!"
Mary holds Lily for the first time. She says she *knew* the whole time it would be a girl, even the times when she *said* she thought it would be a boy. She got to watch Lily being born.

Sleep smile!
Sisters!
Sweet face!
More sleepy smiles!
Lily went to watch Mary's final ballet class - the students were demonstrating for their families everything they learned in the past eight weeks. We all thought Mary was the most poised ballerina of the five in the class!
Cute cloth diaper shot! Her face looks much less squashed in after a few days.
Saturday - first trip to the library! We had to go pick up the new Doctor Who series that dad had on hold.
They had a bunch of big vehicles at the library and Joey got to drive a fire truck and blow the horn! There was also a police car, ambulance, excavator, and dump truck.
First trip to church on Sunday! The congregation sang "Happy Birthday" to Lily, and Mary and Joey got to ring the church bell for her birthday. She slept through the whole thing.
Another super cute diaper shot!
Giving dad a big hug.
Mom and Lily.
