Lisa is such a "joy"!

She is still just too cute! She is in the outfit that her Great Grandma Crandell made for her with the matching quilt!Trying out her folks rings for size...a little big still!
Just after after her bath...
Hangin' with Mom...Hangin' in her crib with the bears... The funniest picture we have of her so far!
She is just one cute gal with lots of personality! We are so blessed!

Chad's birthday

Yesterday Chad turned 13! I am still not sure how that happened. It seems just yesterday that he was the size of Gus and Lisa. We had a wonderful day here at Kathryn's celebrating this important milestone in his life. It was made all the more special since he was able to celebrate with Elisabeth Joy.We gave Chad his purity ring. It was a special time as his Dad prayed for him and his continued growth into a godly young man. Of course he had to try his new Wii game out with his brother-in-law Matt!
He had to blow out the inferno on top of the cake... We ended the evening with a movie. Lisa decided that she needed some snuggle time with her Papa. He has just the right touch!
It was a GREAT day! Happy Birthday Chad!

Lisa is 5 days old today. She has been a very good baby. She's sleeping, eating well and making her Mom and Dad very happy. Here are a few pictures..she has already changed so much. She's having some snuggle time with Nana.
Lisa is thinking about waking up, but is still not sure!





Proud parents!

Elisabeth Joy Stafford

Elisabeth Joy Stafford was our gift from the Lord on June 8th at 11:10 p.m. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 10.4 oz. and is 18 inches long. A beautiful, sweet little girl with wonderful auburn hair has now changed our lives forever! I have posted below some pictures in chronological order of the first 36 hours of her life. Matt and Kathryn are going to call her "Lisa" for short and she is very quickly wrapping her daddy around her little finger.
