Ginger's third week

Ginger had a busy third week. She had lots of visitors. Made new friends. And had her first bottle.

Ginger meets her best friend from Dallas ... Kathryn Epperson.

Pretty in pink ...

Ginger and Friends - Part II

Not sure how he feels about this, but Matt looks pretty natural with a baby.




Lora Ann has done this before.




Steve is as terrified as he looks.




Cara, on the other hand, is quite comfortable.




Melissa and Chris stopped by for a visit.

Joelle will be brining Ginger a friend soon!

Ginger & Friends

Catherine was in town for the holiday and stopped by for a visit.



Ginger was greeted upon her homecoming by Paige and Josh.



Ginger with her first friend, Maya Tackett.



Not sure whether Larkin is mimicking Ginger, or the other way around.

Nancy and Elizabeth arrived just in time to celebrate Ginger's first 24 hours of life (and to bring breakfast tacos).

Katie came to meet Ginger (and reassure Mom and Dad that we could do this) on her first day.

Confident that Ginger must have been born hours earlier, Nancy and Paige were there to greet Ginger when she was only minutes old.

Homecoming

Ginger in the lovely homecoming outfit given to her by Jodie.

The first ever photo containing Dad and either

a) a baby in a pink bonnet or b) a crucifix.

What should have a perfectly good photo of the sweet

moment of arriving home, ruined by Dad's broken middle finger.

No offense intended.

Peacefully asleep at home.

Welcome To The World, Virginia

Virginia Grace Nold, was born July 2nd at 8:14am, weighing 8lbs, 2oz.

Shortly after delivery, with her terrified (but momentarily hiding it) father.

With Papa in the delivery room.

In the recovery room with Gram.

Sharing a moment with her mother.

Dreaming she was back in the womb...
