Von meets Ann

We took video of when Von first met Ann. It's not exactly action-packed, but you might enjoy it.

Welcome, Princess Ann!

After being admitted to the hospital on Monday, I gave birth to our beautiful little princess on Tuesday, October 1: Anberlin Beatrix Rae. She weighed in at 8lb, 9oz, and measured 21.5 inches long. We had chosen the name Anberlin Beatrix when I was pregnant with Von (Anberlin as in the band, Beatrix as in Potter) and saved it just in case we ever had a girl. Then after my Aunt Vicki died this spring, we decided to name our little girl after her by using her middle name as a second middle name. We are calling her Ann, and she is just the sweetest, chubbiest little thing! Von even thinks so--he pats her gently, tries to suction her little nose, and gives her toys when she cries. He makes this really adorable, quiet clucking sound when he interacts with her and loves to point out her tiny ears.
Please forgive the pictures--the first two were taken with my cell phone and the lighting was not great in the others. She is jaundiced and quite yellow! I'll continue to try to get some better pictures of her as her color improves.
